+Cached lint results are stored in the `.erb_lint_cache` directory by default, though a custom directory can be provided
 via the `--cache-dir` option. Cache filenames are computed with a hash of information about the file and `erb_lint` settings.
 These files store instance attributes of the `CachedOffense` object, which only contain the `Offense` attributes
 necessary to restore the results of running `erb_lint` for output. The cache also automatically prunes outdated files each time it's run.
