Like Google.
One of the biggest issues seem to be the size of the repo,
which takes days (?) to download and get started.
Does Google contribute all their extra services / tools
to make Git for work for then?
- mindsuck 3y agoGoogle uses piper, not git
- wodenokoto 3y agoIsn't Android on git?
- SubjectToChange 3y agoAOSP is a distributed as a bunch of git repos, but Google uses an in-house VCS called piper.
- SubjectToChange 3y agoMicrosoft is a better example with git vfs and now Scalar.
- junon 3y agoUnless you're checking out old commits, `git clone --depth=1`. Then you get close to the ideal download size for any given repo.
- gardenhedge 3y agoIf that is ideal why is it not the default?
- junon 3y agoBecause it's unexpected behavior and not what you want most of the time. It's ideal in the sense of bytes on the wire.
