overwire cache

Inspects or clears the action source cache used by --docker live runs, with a subcommand for the persisted runner tool cache.

Terminal window
overwire cache [options] [command]
OptionDescription
--dir <path>Cache directory (default ~/.cache/overwire/actions).
--clearRemove all entries from the cache directory.

Inspects or manages the persisted RUNNER_TOOL_CACHE directory, where setup-* actions install tool versions that survive across runs. Supports listing, clearing, and evicting individual entries.

Terminal window
overwire cache tool-cache
Terminal window
# What is cached right now?
overwire cache
# Start fresh
overwire cache --clear
overwire cache tool-cache

Everything under ~/.cache/overwire/ is rebuildable; clearing caches forces re-fetching but breaks nothing. See Directory layout.
