I want to track a project that uses git. I don't want to clone the full repository and the full history, I just want the latest revision, and I want to be able to update to new revisions from the remote project.
I have tried using git clone, but this creates a copy of the entire repository (huge file size), and tracking changes makes the disk space even bigger (100mb of files now takes up over 2gb).
I'm not going to be submitting patches, and I don't need the history. I just want the latest version like in subversion.
Is this possible in git?

Set up from installation and pullEnter “github” in the Search field, click “Github Pull Requests”, and click “Install”. When installation is completed click “Reload”. Open the command palette and search for git clone and execute it. Clone the repository of github you want to use into the appropriate folder.
Git Fetch is the command that tells the local repository that there are changes available in the remote repository without bringing the changes into the local repository. Git Pull on the other hand brings the copy of the remote directory changes into the local repository.
Use git clone with the --depth option set to 1 to create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the latest commit.
For example:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/user/repo.git To also initialize and update any nested submodules, also pass --recurse-submodules and to clone them shallowly, also pass --shallow-submodules.
For example:
git clone --depth 1 --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules https://github.com/user/repo.git If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
