Allow for Shallow Clone command in 2.0
planned

It would be nice for users to have a way to shallow clone. Currently, we do
checkout
to checkout. It would be nice to be able to pass a depth into that like shallowClone:10
and then use the number 10
as the depth for the clone. The PR linked has a modified version of the existing script that works.CCI-I-254

Enable the use of shallow checkout on Windows executors

Currently on windows, the only way to achieve a shallow checkout is either by creating a
.git
cache or by using additional ssh keys which would require more keys to be added to each project.Users would like to be able to use the
--depth
parameter when performing a checkout which is currently not possible on Windows without using either of the aforementioned workarounds.Oran Wilder

An updated method for supporting blobless and shallow clone options is planned for April.

Please, please give us a way to turn on blobless in the future even if opt in. We have a repo that "regular" git clone
hates
. I've seen 30 minute clones in terminal before, and 5 minute clones on CircleCI. But with blobless, 30 seconds.Oran Wilder
[UPDATE] We plan to work on faster checkout methods again in the first half of 2025.

[UPDATE] We have rolled back the blobless clone preview mentioned in January, and are evaluating a new path forward based on your feedback.

Hi folks, we are testing out something similar to a shallow clone (a blobless clone https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/) that aims to speed up checkouts.
If you want to try this out in "beta", email me at sebastian@circleci.com

weird, that this is still not offered, could be a simple optional param or env var for the
checkout
step, no?S
