The downloaded packages remain on disk till you do a "zypper clean". If 
"keep installed packages" is enabled, the packages will be kept on disk 
after installation. If disabled, they will be erased from cache on install.

And, if you decide to install "git" or whatever package, and it has been 
updated, zypper will download the new version and install that one, not 
the one you downloaded before.

There is no zypper command to install everything that is in the cache, 
makes no sense.
