Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

As mentioned in this issue executing the install.sh script of my dotfiles currently takes 2-3 minutes (mostly by running Nix home-manager). This means using Gitpod with my dotfiles enabled is basically not practical for my workflows (i.e. waiting 2-3 minutes every time I'm opening a workspace).

Describe the behaviour you'd like

One solution to this problem I can think of is to cache the result of the dotfiles install script.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Maybe some kind of layered file systems (e.g. via Docker images)?
