See udondan's answer below for information on how to combine shallow clone and sparse checkout.Īs of git 2.25.0 (Jan 2020) an experimental sparse-checkout command is added in git: git sparse-checkout init But if you don't need the history of the repository, you can at least save on bandwidth by creating a shallow clone. At the moment it is not possible to clone only a single directory. Note that this will still download the whole repository from the server – only the checkout is reduced in size. Usage: git_sparse_clone "" "./local/location" "/bin" You might want to have a look at the extended tutorial and you should probably read the official documentation for sparse checkout and read-tree.Īs a function: function git_sparse_clone() ( You will now have files "checked out" for some/dir and another/sub/tree on your file system (with those paths still), and no other paths present. Last but not least, update your empty repo with the state from the remote: git pull origin master git/info/sparse-checkoutĮcho "another/sub/tree" >.
git/info/sparse-checkout, eg: echo "some/dir/" >. Now you need to define which files/folders you want to actually check out. Then do: git config core.sparseCheckout true This creates an empty repository with your remote, and fetches all objects but doesn't check them out. The steps to do a sparse clone are as follows: mkdir What you are trying to do is called a sparse checkout, and that feature was added in git 1.7.0 (Feb.
