CI: Use nix-build-uncached to speed up CI jobs#2747
Merged
Conversation
before, the `nix-build` step would build or download everything defined in the `default.nix` file. But there is no point in downloading stuff from the cache here; if it is there, all is well. The [`nix-build-uncached` tool](https://github.com/Mic92/nix-build-uncached) supposedly fixes that. So let’s try.

this should noticably speed up CI runs that don’t have to build everything (e.g. when only tests change). Tried and proven in Motoko already (caffeinelabs/motoko#2747)
