Configuration files
| File(s) | What it does |
|---|---|
| rush.json | The main configuration file for Rush |
| common/changes/… | Storage for the rush change command |

| common/config/rush/npm-shrinkwrap.json | The shrinkwrap file when your package manager is NPM. This is the common shrinkwrap file that applies to all projects in the Rush repo. For more information, see “What is this “shrinkwrap file” in the Everyday commands section. |

Temporary files created by Rush
| File(s) | What it does |
|---|---|
| common/temp/install-run/… | Storage for the install-run.js and instal-run-rush.js scripts. See Enabling CI builds. |
| common/temp/node_modules/… | The installed packages. This is a plain old npm install output, with no symlinks in this tree. |
| common/temp/npm-cache/… | A local NPM cache will be created here. Rush does not use the global NPM cache due to its concurrency problems. |
| common/temp/npm-local/… | Based on the npmVersion setting, Rush will install NPM in your home directory and create a symlink to it for each repo that requests it. |
| common/temp/npm-tmp/… | Temporary files created by NPM during installation. |
| common/temp/projects/… | Synthetic projects referenced by common/temp/package.json. |
| common/temp/rush-recycler/… | Used to speed up recursive deletes. |
| common/temp/last-install.flag | Don’t worry about this file. It tracks the timestampe of the last successful rush install. |
| common/temp/package.json | The common package definition. |
| common/temp/rush-link.json | Don’t worry about this file. It is created whenever you run rush link, and read by later commands such as “rush build”. |
