'Eclipse - how to git clone --depth 1
I have to import a quite big (bitbucket) git repository in Eclipse. Right now Eclipse is stuck cloning from an hour. To speed up things I'd like to clone it in "shallow" mode (just taking the last commit).
I tested this with the CLI git clone --depth 1 https://bitbucket.myco.local:8443/scm/big/quite-big-project.git and it worked well: it took less than 2 minutes. Anyway I have to clone the project into eclipse and have no idea about how to set the depth in Eclipse's git import project wizard.
Solution 1:[1]
I worked-around like this (in a way similar as what suggested @mboot):
1> I cloned the repository with CLI and --depth 1 option
2> I followed the procedure of import from git using "filesystem" protocol
3> Unbound the "filesystem" origin (git remote remove origin)
4> Added the "actual" remote git remote add origin https://bitbucket.myco.local:8443/scm/big/quite-big-project.git
5> Hoped for the best
