Any thoughts of checking node_modules/.cache/snowpack into git?

During our migration to snowpack, we found the step to build dependencies slowed down snowpack dev (first time) and snowpack build a lot while the rest of the steps are reasonably fast.

Is there any concern if the dependency cache is checked into the source control so they only need to be built once for all the team?

Not that I know of! I'd actually like to move it into a top-level .snowpack directory so that this is easier to do.

Thanks, @FredKSchott. We'll experiment with it!
Do you know if there's a way to skip rebuilding dependencies in snowpack build if we cache the dependencies in the source control already?

Hi @FredKSchott, thanks for the early suggestion! Checking in the .snowpack directory definitely makes the snowpack dev a lot faster!
I want to reply at first level to raise your attention :)
Do you know if there's a way to use the checked-in .snowpack directory during snowpack build to make the build faster?
