git shallow clone to specific tag

by

How about cloning the tag to a depth of 1?

  • git clone --branch mytag0.1 --depth 1 https://example.com/my/repo.git

Notes:

  • --depth 1 implies --single-branch, so no info from other branches is brought to the cloned repository
  • if you want to clone a local repository, use file:// instead of only the repository path
