gulp-cached

Integrates seamlessly with Gulp tasks using minimal code, as shown in the simple usage example with gulp.src and pipe, requiring no complex setup.

Caches file contents to only pass modified files downstream, preventing redundant processing in tasks like linting and saving computational resources, as demonstrated in the README's example.

Offers an optimizeMemory option to store MD5 hashes instead of full file contents, reducing memory footprint for large files, as detailed in the configuration options.

Allows clearing entire or specific caches via code (e.g., cache.caches = {}), providing fine-grained control over cache invalidation for dynamic workflows.
