Accessing key-based cache archives

You can access your cache archives separately, without running a build. This allows you to keep track of several things:

• What cache keys are associated with different cache archives.
• How much storage space is taken up by your cache archives.
• When each cache archive is due to expire.

In addition, you can download any cache archive - if it hasn't expired yet -, you can copy the cache keys, and you can delete archives.

To access your archives:

1. Open your project on Bitrise with a user that has the Admin role on the project.

2. On the main page of the project, click on the Project settings button.

3. On the left side, select Dependency cache.

4. Click the actions menu next to a cache archive, then select one of the following:

   • Copy key to copy the cache key.
   • Download to download the cache archive.
   • Delete to delete the cache archive.

note

Cache archives are compressed with Zstandard. To decompress a downloaded archive, install zstd, then run zstd -d cache.tzst.
