Slooow internet? Try this!

Postby legoboyvdlp » Fri Jun 10, 2016 12:48 pm

Code: Select all

git clone -b Terrain --single-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT/w010n40.git

This will download only the last commit and only the terrain branch of a tile; adjust as necessary.
This forfeits install script privileges / one step updating, and you have to manually update via git pull.
However, it does save time remarkably, since you do not have to download git history and the objects as well as terrain or vice versa...
Only recommended when your internet is abominable; submodule updating recommended at all other times.

That's actually a really good suggestion to get the last snapshot that others say they want.

IIRC, you can't do git pull when cloned like that.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it?

Yep, you can -- tiles done like that pull fine. Thanks to whoever suggested this years ago on some other forum...

There's a lot of information on stackoverflow that is incredibly useful. I just remembered the name of the site, and that's the one :)

Apply this trick on an Objects branch and pick your jaw from the floor! :D

Normally takes all of 20 seconds to clone any objects branch not in Europe or the USA!

I tried this and got this.

Code: Select all

$ git clone -b Terrain --single-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT/w010n40.git
Cloning into 'w010n40'...
warning: Could not find remote branch Terrain to clone.
fatal: Remote branch Terrain not found in upstream origin

The branch indeed does not exist;
maybe?

Code: Select all

git clone -b Terrain --single-branch --depth=1 https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT/w010n40-terrain.git
