Global Directories
Scarb uses several directories stored in operating system's conventional locations for different purposes, such as storing global configuration or download and source cache. This page list outlines all global directories, their default paths and information how to override them if possible.
Cache directory
This is a location where Scarb will store a downloads, Git checkouts and package sources.
| Platform | Default Path |
|---|---|
| Linux | $XDG_CACHE_HOME/scarb or $HOME/.cache/scarb |
| macOS | $HOME/Library/Caches/com.swmansion.scarb |
| Windows | %LocalAppData%\swmansion\scarb\cache |
This path can be overridden via SCARB_CACHE environment variable.
Config directory
This is a location where Scarb will look for global configuration in the future.
