Google should do something about the Chrome repo's file size... 65GB+ is kind of ridiculous. Last time I tried to download the thing, I gave up.

- Forge36 4y agoI don't think that's on Google. I tried it last time using git. Having learned more about git: the defaults are not well suited to large repos. Worse: it's not easy to get the right settings.
- rasz 4y agoThey did, Chrome devs fly 128 core 64-128GB workstations, no problem for them.
- mdaniel 4y agoAnd my recollection is that Google devs use something akin to Chromebooks, coding remotely, meaning the multi-gigabyte repo isn't on "their machine" anyway
- phendrenad2 4y agoWhy would they do that? Chrome being hard to compile is a benefit to them. It means it's harder for people to fragment the Chrome ecosystem by making slightly-incompatible forks.
