Sparse checkout allows Git to check out only a portion of the repository. This is particularly helpful for monorepository workflows where CI jobs only need a portion of the repository to run tests. This speeds up the CI jobs, and puts less load on the Git server as it relieves it from having to pack up all the objects. In the Git project, though it is still labeled experimental, the feature has been stable for a number of years and is unlikely to change at this point. This change allows configuring Git to use sparse checkout and provide a list of directories for the sync command to retrieve. Projects with sparse paths default to a blob:none partial clone so the excluded paths are never fetched, unless a filter is already configured or the project is excluded from partial clones. Both the plain and the git-worktree checkout flows configure sparse-checkout before populating the working tree.

repo
Repo is a tool built on top of Git. Repo helps manage many Git repositories, does the uploads to revision control systems, and automates parts of the development workflow. Repo is not meant to replace Git, only to make it easier to work with Git. The repo command is an executable Python script that you can put anywhere in your path.

Contact
Please use the repo-discuss mailing list or issue tracker for questions.
You can file a new bug report under the "repo" component.
Please do not e-mail individual developers for support. They do not have the bandwidth for it, and often times questions have already been asked on repo-discuss or bugs posted to the issue tracker. So please search those sites first.
Install
Many distros include repo, so you might be able to install from there.
# Debian/Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt-get install repo
# Gentoo.
$ sudo emerge dev-vcs/repo
You can install it manually as well as it's a single script.
$ mkdir -p ~/.bin
$ PATH="${HOME}/.bin:${PATH}"
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/.bin/repo
$ chmod a+rx ~/.bin/repo
Shell Completion
Repo includes completion scripts for Bash and Zsh.
Bash
To enable completion in Bash, source completion.bash in your ~/.bashrc:
source /path/to/git-repo/completion.bash
Zsh
To enable completion in Zsh, you can either:
-
Copy or symlink
completion.zshto a file named_repoin a directory in your$fpath:mkdir -p ~/.zsh/completion # You can copy the file: cp /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repo # Or symlink it: ln -s /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh ~/.zsh/completion/_repoThen add that directory to your
fpathin~/.zshrcbeforecompinit:fpath=(~/.zsh/completion $fpath) autoload -Uz compinit compinit -
Or source the file directly and call
compdefin your~/.zshrc:source /path/to/git-repo/completion.zsh compdef _repo repo
