gulp-cached

In-memory file cache for Gulp that skips unchanged files across runs, reducing processing time. Version 1.1.1 is the latest stable release (last updated 2015). It stores file contents in memory and compares them on subsequent passes; only files with changed content are emitted downstream. Supports an optimizeMemory option for md5 checksums. Works with Gulp 3.x and 4.x. Unlike gulp-changed which compares file timestamps, gulp-cached uses content comparison, ensuring accurate change detection.
