Hugo build caching
Is there a way to get build caching in Hugo sites? (cc @Dario , who seems to be the resident build cache maven)
DYes, I can impelement that 
Since I need to do it for docusaurus I might as well just do it for Hugo too

Dbut I have zero Hugo knowledge I'd like to get someone from the Hugo team ideally confirm what directories need to be cached
Dare you by any chance a Hugo maintainer and/or can you connect me with one? 
TOh fantastic! I am not a maintainer but I can reach out to one to let them know you're interested in working on this.
Tthe cacheDir is configurable. I think that's all you'd need to support: https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configure-cachedir
TThank you very much for looking into this!
JBy default, we create a "hugo_cache" directory in the user cache directory as determined by https://pkg.go.dev/os#UserCacheDir. For example, by default, on Linux my cache directory is /home/jmooring/.cache/hugo_cache. Although users can override the location of the cache directory, that's not something you need to worry about... it would be a self inflicted wound in this context.
JBy default, this directory contains cached modules and remote data. Users can configure a site to cache images in this location as well. This is a big win for sites that perform image processing. See https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configure-file-caches.

DI'm sorry I completely missed the replies is thread! 
(I feel like discord's notifications aren't always the most helpful! )
(I feel like discord's notifications aren't always the most helpful! )Dour build cache implementation is unfortunately a bit limited and it doesn't really implements any integration with possible framework customization, so it always only checks the default directory (/directories)
fortunately it seems like you're ok with that

regarding the netlify=true... I need to check I am not 100% sure if that applies to the v2 build image

DI'll have to check about the dir location... as I said it's just static/hardcoded on our end, so I am not 100% sure if
if it's not this could require a bit of refactoring on our end (with some potential pushbacks).
Or maybe you'd be willing to add an additional ad-hoc
UserCacheDir will always be the same for every single build...if it's not this could require a bit of refactoring on our end (with some potential pushbacks).

if check for Cloudflare like you did here: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/7f3061723e3df064515fc57c183b06ed16f26b75/helpers/path.go#L373-L381GitHub

Dsorry before I forget, thanks for connecting us! 
0Would that cover resized images as well? (I'm not committing
resources/_gen to the repo)DI did start look into it but there's a non trivial issue with enabling build caching with Hugo
Dthe fact that hugo is not node/npm based and all our build caching code is npm-based, so to support hugo we'd have to add a separate build cache implementation from scratch for it 
Dnot impossible but it'd take some effort for sure (and I don't really have lots of time at the moment, I can make a note of this and get back to it as soon as I can if it can help , or I can ping the team which own that infrastructure but I can't imagine this getting prioritized unfortunately )

TI was hoping there'd be at least some appetite to make this happen, since y'all appear to be using Hugo and Pages for the your own developer docs: https://blog.cloudflare.com/new-dev-docs/
