This relies on a `locate` command to find repositories. This should be much faster than the `list` command, as it relies on a pre-built index but results may be stalled.

*Note*: at this point, the plugin does not manage index update. Updating the index often requires to run a command like `updatedb` as root.
#### General Notes for `updatedb`

At this point, the plugin does not manage index update.

Updating the index often requires to run a command like `updatedb` as root. If the cached_list command does not return anything, it might be due to the configuration of the `updatedb` command. You can run `sudo updatedb -v --debug-pruning` to see if the directories you expect are indexed. You should see lines like the following if a repository named "rusqlie_migration" is indexed:

```
/home/cjoly/worktree/rusqlite/rusqlite_migration/Cargo.toml
/home/cjoly/worktree/rusqlite/rusqlite_migration/README.md
/home/cjoly/worktree/rusqlite/rusqlite_migration/.git
```

You might need to tweak the settings in the file `/etc/updatedb.conf`. The [corresponding manpage](https://man.archlinux.org/man/updatedb.conf.5) may be useful as well.
