GitPitch Caching

####Slideshow Caching

In order to provide responsive service GitPitch utilizes two distinct levels of caching when generating and serving up slideshow presentations:

1. Slideshow presentations on the master branch are cached for up to 180 seconds
2. Slideshow presentations on any feature branch are cached for up to 20 seconds

If your slideshow presentation does not appear to be reflecting your latest changes it is most likely a consequence of this GitPitch caching policy.

This caching policy encourages and supports prototyping and development in feature branches within your Git repo. It also acknowledges the master branch within any Git repo is typically the stable branch, where changes are made much less frequently.

####PDF Caching

GitPitch supports the printing of GitPitch slideshow presentations as PDF documents. See the Slideshow Printing page for further details. As generating PDF is an expensive operation on the GitPitch server each PDF is cached on the server for up to 20 minutes.

####Offline Caching

GitPitch supports the downloading of GitPitch slideshow presentations as zip archive files. See the Slideshow Offline page for further details. As generating offline zip archive files is an expensive operation on the GitPitch server each zip file is cached on the server for up to 20 minutes.
