Git Cache

IguanaX components are hosted as Git repos on https://www.bitbucket.org/. You will have to make sure your firewall can get through to there if you want to have a usable product.

In early versions of IguanaX, creating a component took a long time and was a slow process. To fix this issue, we came up with the idea of the git cache.

The git cache is where IguanaX maintains a local cache of the Git repos of components and libraries. When we create components, we copy from the cache locally which makes creating interfaces fast and means you don't have to be connected to the internet to create components.

The cache is located here:

<working directory>/resources   

You can refresh the cache from the Add Components screen.

You will then be redirected to the logs screen for the service log which provide a summary of the refreshed repositories and if there were any errors. If not at the top of your logs, you can search for the git cache summary using #git.
