Repo Cache

ToolStorePy uses a local bare-repository cache so repeated builds do not have to re-clone the same repos from the network every time.

How it works​

  1. Cache a remote repository as a bare repo.
  2. Reuse that bare repo for future local clones into the workspace.
  3. Fall back to remote cloning only when the cache does not contain the target repo.

Current implementation​

The cache lives under the package directory by default:

.repo_cache/

Each cached repo is stored as:

<repo-name>.git

Why it matters​

  • repeated builds become much faster
  • evaluation runs can avoid hitting the network in each worker
  • the build pipeline is more reproducible once the cache is warm
