FAQ
Manage runs
How do I quickly delete failed runs?
Guild saves every run whether it succeeds or not. This lets you troubleshoot issues But over time failed runs can accumulate and you’ll want to delete them.
Use this command to delete failed runs:
guild runs delete --error
Use this command to delete terminated runs (i.e. runs that were
stopped by the user by typing CTRL‑c):
guild runs delete --terminated
You can delete both failed and terminated runs by using both
‑‑error and ‑‑terminated options at the same time, or using
this short form:
guild runs delete -ET
Guild will let you confirm the list of runs before deleting them.
You can later restore a deleted run using (cmd:runs-restore)[runs restore].
Resources
If a source is referenced multiple times, does Guild download each occurrence?
No, Guild will only download the source once. There is no performance penalty for referencing a resource source multiple times.
Runtime characteristics
How much overhead does Guild incur when running an operation?

-
Additional time: typically less than 100 milliseconds but may be more on slower systems or loaded systems
-
Additional resident RAM: less than 40 MB
