From 3cd2cac4ea92abfe333767ec8c8edc497fbfc05d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AlfredJKwack Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2022 12:42:37 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Shallow git cloning When installing either manually or with oh-my-zsh it's better to create a shallow clone with a history truncated to the latest commit only. The installation will be faster and less resource intensive. End users don't care for the entire repo's history and branches anyway. --- INSTALL.md | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/INSTALL.md b/INSTALL.md index 48b724f..da60a62 100644 --- a/INSTALL.md +++ b/INSTALL.md @@ -38,7 +38,7 @@ See also [repology's cross-distro index](https://repology.org/metapackage/zsh-sy Simply clone this repository and source the script: ```zsh -git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git +git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git echo "source ${(q-)PWD}/zsh-syntax-highlighting/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh" >> ${ZDOTDIR:-$HOME}/.zshrc ``` @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ your `.zshrc`. 1.
