Difference from gulp-cached unclear
wbyoung opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I'm new to gulp, and I accidentally installed this plugin when I was truing to install gulp-cached (just forgot the d). In investigating this project, I was a little confused to find that it seems pretty similar.
Is the difference that this is file based caching instead of in memory based caching?
Perhaps it may make sense to rename the project to alleviate confusion for others in the future? If the difference is that it's file based caching, then maybe gulp-file-cache would be a more clear distinction between the two?

Yes, this is file based. From the README, second line: "A temp file based caching proxy task for Gulp."

Mine existed before his, I will not be renaming.
Yes, I read that, but it wasn't immediately clear where the difference was as someone new. I'm only expressing concerns as someone new to the ecosystem. Perhaps this discussion will help others understand the differences as well.
Cached is the confusing one IMO. Cached is more of a filter, where this is a true cache.
