Cache

By default, the linter uses a cache to prevent linting the same migration multiple times. The default location of the cache on Linux is /home/<username>/.cache/django-migration-linter/<version>/<ldjango-project>_<database_name>.pickle.

Since the linter uses hashes of the file's content, modifying a migration file will re-run the linter on that migration. If you want to run the linter without cache, use the flag --no-cache. If you want to invalidate the cache, delete the cache folder. The cache folder can also be defined manually through the --cache-path option.
