+```
+rspec:
+  script: test
+  cache:
+    paths:
+    - binaries/
+    - .config
+```

+2. Cache all git untracked files:

+```
+cache:
+  paths:
+  - my/files
+
+rspec:
+  script: test
+  cache:

 ## Validate the .gitlab-ci.yml
 Each instance of GitLab CI has an embedded debug tool called Lint.
 You can find the link to the Lint in the project's settings page or use short url `/lint`.
