Speed up getDocs clones with shallow, single-branch fetch - #383
Merged
Conversation
getDocs.js only needs a snapshot of each upstream repo's docs, but it did a full clone (entire history, all branches). Add --depth 1 and --single-branch so each clone transfers only the latest commit of the default branch, cutting fetch time and bandwidth noticeably for the larger source repositories.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Generally approve, with a suggestion for simplification. Out of curiosity: what role did Opus play in this very simple change?
