CSS Cache Busting and Git Renaming

June 5, 2024

Cloudflare Caching and Git File Rename Issues

Cloudflare cache busting:

  • Cloudflare caches CSS files, causing outdated styles to persist
  • To bust the cache, Leal appended a version query param to the CSS file URL
  • e.g., href="css/talent-protocol-v2.webflow.css?v=1"
  • The value after the URL can be any string, it acts as a cache buster

Git file renaming:

  • Wanted to rename Coinbase_logo.svg to coinbase_logo.svg for consistency
  • Git doesn't automatically track renames with different casing
  • Leal used git mv to force the rename:
  • git mv images/Coinbase_logo.svg images/coinbase_logo.svg
