Introduction

git-cache-rs is a git helper that allows caching clones in a central folder so consequtive clones become faster.

It works by first cloning into a cache folder (~/.gitcache by default), then cloning locally out from there. The next time the same repository is cloned, it will be cloned from the cache.

Installation

cargo install git-cache

How to use

Just use git cache clone <clone options> instead of git clone <clone options>. Add -U if you'd like the cached version to update from the original repository before cloning (not needed for the first clone).
