[Phpmyadmin-devel] clone is so slow

Hi, The process : git clone git@github.com:phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin.git is so slow, it takes a long time to complete, why? is there any way to speed it up? I tried it once, and I'm trying to clone again now to a different directory, can I just copy&paste the first copy to the new directory and work on it?

Hi Ahmed , Yes it will take some time. After get it, keep a reference for the clone. You can update the reference and use copy of it for development. On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 11:22 AM, Ahmed Waheed <waheedmp3@gmail.com> wrote:

hi yasitha, how to make a reference for the clone? I cloned it first someplace, now I want it to be in my webserver root so that I can test it, can I copy it to www/ and work on it and commit changes from www/ ?

You can always clone locally. Say, if you just finished cloning into ./pma, then you can make another clone like this: git clone ./pma /var/www/pma
can I copy it to www/ and work on it and commit changes from www/ ?
Yes, you can and you probably should, as it makes testing a hell of a lot faster. Bye, Rouslan

Indeed it takes quite long, I've asked github support to compact the repository using git gc --aggressive, what would cut it's size by 100 MB. -- Michal Čihař | http://cihar.com | http://blog.cihar.com
