There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for this! Just a few tweaks needed.
* Adds a new flag `--bazel-index-store` for providing a path to a global index store used by all modules compiled by Bazel * Adds logic to the Bazel rules to use the provided `--bazel-index-store` value to populate `indexstores` in the project config instead of populating with the list of module specific stores
