 ## GitHub cache
 
+### Cache backend API (experimental)
+
+Since [buildx](https://github.com/docker/buildx) 0.6 and [BuildKit](https://github.com/moby/buildkit) 0.9 you can use
+the new [`type=gha` cache exporter](https://github.com/moby/buildkit/tree/master#github-actions-cache-experimental):
+
+```yaml
+name: ci
+
+on:
+  push:
+    branches:
+      - 'master'
+
+jobs:
+  docker:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      -
+        name: Checkout
+        uses: actions/checkout@v2
+      -
+        name: Set up Docker Buildx
+        uses: docker/setup-buildx-action@v1
+      -
+        name: Login to DockerHub
+        uses: docker/login-action@v1 
+        with:
+          username: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_USERNAME }}
+          password: ${{ secrets.DOCKERHUB_TOKEN }}
+      -
+        name: Build and push
+        uses: docker/build-push-action@v2
+        with:
+          context: .
+          push: true
+          tags: user/app:latest
+          cache-from: type=gha
+          cache-to: type=gha
+```
+
+### Local cache
+
 > :warning: At the moment caches are copied over the existing cache so it [keeps growing](https://github.com/docker/build-push-action/issues/252).
 > The `Move cache` step is used as a temporary fix (see https://github.com/moby/buildkit/issues/1896).
 
-> :rocket: There is a new cache backend using GitHub cache being developed that will lighten your workflow.
