Partial clone
https://magit.vc/manual/magit/Sparse-checkouts.html
Useful when I wanted to clone only one dir at work from my personal org notes directory.
- go to src folder and do
m-x magit-clone-sparse - investigate the .git folder, see the content and watch how it updates in next steps
m-x magit sparse checkout enable(see the changes)- inside info folder sparse-checkout appeared
- config and index also changed
c-x g- go to magit interface- do
> sto set directories(tab to select)- needed directory is fetched. MAGIC!
- if you do
sagain to change dirs - old dir gets removed :o
