optimization</h1></header><p>By default <code>git clone</code> will download every file in your Git repository, as well as the complete history of every file. For small repositories, that&#x27;s no big deal. But as your monorepo accumulates projects and years of history, Git operations become slower and slower, until one day <code>git status</code> is taking 10 seconds or more. What to do?</p>
<p>Git provides these basic solutions that are easy to use in a medium sized repository:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Shallow clone</strong> allows cloning only a few commits, but is generally only suitable for throwaway clones such as a CI job.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Partial clone</strong> allows cloning without file contents (<strong>blobless</strong> clone) or even commit details (<strong>treeless</strong> clone), greatly accelerating your <code>git clone</code> time and allowing such details to be fetched during <code>git checkout</code>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Large file storage (LFS)</strong> can move binary files to a separate server, downloading them on demand during checkout. Configuration of LFS is tricky however and if done incorrectly may cause worse performance.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>However, achieving good performance in a large repository requires more complex Git features such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Git <strong>filesystem monitor</strong> and <strong>background maintenance</strong> are background processes that watch for changes and periodically prefetch server data. The user must manually register/unregister working directories and remember to &quot;pause&quot; the service when not needed.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Git worktrees</strong> allow multiple working directories on your computer to share a single <code>.git</code> folder, avoiding the cost of multiple clones. However this feature comes with awkward limitations, for example the same branch can&#x27;t be checked out in two worktrees, and Git hooks are also shared.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Sparse checkout</strong> allows <code>git checkout</code> to extract a subset of files instead of the entire directory structure. Combined with partial clone, sparse checkout is the &quot;battle axe&quot; of Git optimization: although irrelevant projects and history will accumulate, your wait time will be proportional to the files you actually need.</p>
</li>
