Save harddrive space by using git shallow clones
Sometime you clone starter projects, libraries, or plugins to help you get started on a new project or POC.
Perhaps you are using git clone to get your project on a remote server.
When you clone a project what you also get is all the previous states of that repository at each commit. This can add up fast and take a good chunk of your hard drive space as well as take long to download and decompress.
To solve this you can clone a shallow copy of the repository by using the depth switch on the git clone command, and providing it with the value of 1.
