Local storage

Vsync separates its reusable cache from materialized checkouts.

Default locations

The cache defaults to ~/.vsync. Override it with --store or VSYNC_STORE. The desktop app and CLI use the same cache.

The build root is the parent directory for checkouts created without an explicit --out path:

vsync root
vsync root D:\builds

Inspect the cache

vsync cache status

Prune old cached builds

Preview first:

vsync cache prune --keep-builds 3 --dry-run

Then reclaim the space:

vsync cache prune --keep-builds 3

Pruning keeps the selected newest cached build manifests and all chunks they need. A remote build can be downloaded again later.

Clear the cache

vsync cache clear --yes

This removes cached manifests and chunks but leaves materialized checkouts on disk. Do not clear the only copy of a local build that has not been uploaded.
