Microsoft’s azure docs repo has 1.1M commits, and it’s many gigabytes big. I made the mistake of trying to clone it to fix an issue in the docs I ran into. Ended up just editing it on GitHub because fuck that.
git clone -–depth [depth] [remote-url] > git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs
