Hello @rjr162,
My understanding is that in both cases, you’ll begin to see errors if the Git integration is offline. With caching off, it would be immediate when the next task runs that requires the repo. With caching on, you’d delay seeing the error until the cache timer expires and Morpheus attempts another task from the repo.
Here was a discussion around the innerworkings but also, at the end, a similar ask as yours:
https://discuss.morpheusdata.com/t/option-enable-git-repo-caching-ansible-integration/287
Here is the Idea post that was spawned from that thread:
https://discuss.morpheusdata.com/t/user-configurable-ttl-value-for-caching-in-git-repo-inegration/378
I’d recommend voting on the Idea if you feel it is valuable.
Hope that helps!
