[BUG] NPX uses cached GIST instead of latest

[asears]

Current Behavior:

Installing from Gist using package.json and js file is a really interesting use of npx.

Trying this out on Windows, I found it cached the first gist version of the package and any changes to the gist weren't picked up.

Deleting the cache fixes this. Is there a command line option to delete the cache?

Expected Behavior:

Updating the code in a gist should be picked up by the installer as a difference or change, or installed each time npx is run.

Steps To Reproduce:

Running npx 7.5.1 from a Windows command line, I was able to replicate by simply creating a basic gist with an error, then trying to fix it.

https://gist.github.com/asears/cf8d95776e13f6472c1fb56b57659400

1. Create a gist with a bug.
2. npx https://my-gist-url
3. Fix the gist
4. npx https://my-gist-url

Cached version will be used rather than latest.

Environment:

Windows 19041.746.
Node 15.8.0
npm/npx: 7.5.1
