Shallow Clone Limited to Latest Commit

Company: Elastic | Difficulty: Easy

Scenario

A deployment pipeline is experiencing slow build times because it performs full history clones.

Task

Navigate to /home/interview/workspace and create a shallow clone of the repository (file:///tmp/source-repo/repo.git) named shallow-repo, restricted to the latest commit only.

Example

# Verify the clone is shallow (Has only 1 commit)
$ cd shallow-repo
$ git log --oneline
a1b2c3d (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) Update deployment config
