cache

Manage temporary data and cache files.

BrkRaw and its extensions may use a central cache directory (by default ~/.brkraw/cache) to store temporary data, downloaded assets, or intermediate processing results.

Use this command to:

  • check the current cache location and size,
  • clear cached files to free up disk space.

You can override the config root (and therefore the cache location) with --root.

Subcommands

cache info

Show the path, total size, and file count of the cache directory.

brkraw cache info

Example output:

Path:  /home/user/.brkraw/cache
Size:  12.50 MB
Files: 4

cache clear

Clear all files in the cache directory.

brkraw cache clear

By default, it prompts for confirmation if files exist:

Clear 4 files from /home/user/.brkraw/cache? [y/N]:

To skip confirmation:

brkraw cache clear --yes
brkraw cache clear -y
