### uv cache dir
Show the cache directory
Show the cache directory.
By default, the cache is stored in `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/uv` or `$HOME/.cache/uv` on Unix and `{FOLDERID_LocalAppData}\uv\cache` on Windows.
When `--no-cache` is used, the cache is stored in a temporary directory and discarded when the process exits.
An alternative cache directory may be specified via the `cache-dir` setting, the `--cache-dir` option, or the `$UV_CACHE_DIR` environment variable.
Note that it is important for performance for the cache directory to be located on the same file system as the Python environment uv is operating on.
