## Clone faster!

Sparo optimizes performance of Git operations for your large frontend monorepo.

|

|
## Key features
|
|
|
|
- **Familiar interface:** The `sparo` command-line interface (CLI) wrapper offers **better defaults** and **performance suggestions** without altering the familiar `git` syntax. (The native `git` CLI is also supported.)
|
|
- **A proven solution:** Git provides [quite a lot of ingredients](./pages/reference/git_optimization.md) for optimizing very large repos; Sparo is your recipe for combining these features intelligently.
|
|
- **Simplified sparse checkout:** Work with sparse checkout [profiles](./pages/guide/sparo_profiles.md) instead of confusing "cones" and globs
|
|
- **Frontend integration:** Sparo leverages [Rush](https://rushjs.io/) and [PNPM](https://pnpm.io/) workspace configurations, including the ability to automatically checkout project dependencies
|
|
- **Dual workflows:** The `sparo-ci` tool implements a specialized checkout model optimized for continuous integration (CI) pipelines
|
|
- **Extra safeguards**: Avoid common Git mistakes such as checkouts with staged files outside the active view
|
|
- **Go beyond Git hooks:** Optionally collect anonymized Git timing metrics in your monorepo, enabling your build team to set data-driven goals for _local_ developer experience (not just CI!)
|
|
|
|
_(Metrics are transmitted to your own service and are not accessible by any other party.)_

## Quick demo
|
|
|
|
Try out Sparo in 5 easy steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure you are using the latest Git version. For macOS, we recommend to use [brew install git](https://git-scm.com/download/mac). For other operating systems, see the [Git documentation](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) for instructions.
|
|
|
|
2. Clone your [RushJS](https://rushjs.io/) monorepo:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sparo clone https://github.com/my-company/my-monorepo.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
👉 _For a real world demo, try this repo:_
|
|
[https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js.git](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js.git)
|
|
|
|
> 💡 Support for PNPM and Yarn workspaces is planned but not implemented yet. Contributions welcome!
|
|
|
|
3. Define a [Sparo profile](./pages/configs/profile_json.md) describing the subset of repository folders for Git sparse checkout. Here is a basic example:
|
|
|
|
**common/sparo-profiles/my-team.json**
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"selections": [
|
|
{
|
|
"selector": "--to",
|
|
"argument": "my-rush-project"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
The `--to` [project selector](https://rushjs.io/pages/developer/selecting_subsets/#--to) instructs Sparo to checkout all dependencies in the workspace that are required to build `my-rush-project`.
|
|
|
|
👉 _If you're demoing **azure-sdk-for-js**, replace `my-rush-project` with `@azure/arm-commerce`._
|
|
|
|
4. Check out your Sparo profile:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sparo checkout --profile my-team
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. For everyday work, consider choosing [mirrored subcommands](./pages/commands/overview.md) such as `sparo revert` instead of `git revert`. The Sparo wrapper provides (1) better defaults, (2) suggestions for better performance, and (3) optional anonymized performance metrics.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
sparo pull
|
|
|
|
sparo commit -m "Example command"
|
|
```
|
|
