[Feature] disable cache

Feature Request

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like the ability to disable cache. I just pruned the cache folder and regained 40GB.
I just want to disable it. I don't installing, uninstalling and reinstalling, so im not saving any time.

Do this:

scoop alias add install-k 'scoop install --no-cache $args' 'Installs an app without using cache'
scoop alias add update-k 'scoop update --no-cache $args' 'Updates an app without using cache'

Now you can just do scoop install-k <app> to keep the cache empty.

Thanks

I should have done this earlier.

I can easily live with add a -k to the install/update command.

scoop help install or scoop help update
Usage: scoop install <app> [options]

e.g. The usual way to install an app (uses your local 'buckets'):
     scoop install git

To install an app from a manifest at a URL:
     scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/master/bucket/runat.json

To install an app from a manifest on your computer
     scoop install \path\to\app.json

Options:
  -g, --global              Install the app globally
  -i, --independent         Don't install dependencies automatically
  -k, --no-cache            Don't use the download cache
  -u, --no-update-scoop     Don't update Scoop before installing if it's outdated
  -s, --skip                Skip hash validation (use with caution!)
  -a, --arch <32bit|64bit>  Use the specified architecture, if the app supports it
