What It Does

This command clears the internal avatar cache managed by the extension. Avatar images are fetched from services like GitHub, GitLab, or Gravatar based on commit author and committer email addresses.

​
When to Use

You might want to clear the avatar cache when:
  • Avatar images are not displaying correctly
  • You’ve updated your profile picture on GitHub/GitLab/Gravatar
  • You want to free up storage space
  • You’re troubleshooting avatar-related issues
This command only clears cached avatars. New avatars will be fetched again when you open Git Graph, provided that the neo-git-graph.fetchAvatars setting is enabled.
  • neo-git-graph.fetchAvatars - Enable/disable fetching avatars (default: false)
By enabling avatar fetching, you consent to commit author and committer email addresses being sent to GitHub, GitLab, or Gravatar, depending on your repository’s remote origin.
