Move file caching outside of the vizier project directory
What pain point is this feature intended to address? Please describe.
- Vizier imports data files into the vizier project directories. This makes vizier project directories ginormous --- hard to upload to GIT, hard to use in a variety of situations.
- Files needed by multiple projects
Describe the solution you'd like @julianafreire suggests https://www.fatiando.org/pooch/latest/ , which provides file management using a local cache repository, disconnected from any specific project folder. It also has some nice features like checksumming.
- Integrate first-class support for pooch
- Mimic the pooch API / allow access to pooch cache folders
- Implement something analogous in vizier.
Describe alternatives you've considered Ginormous vizier.db folders
