Partial clone for reduced download in Git - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the command to start a partial clone with filter blob:none.

Git

git clone --filter [1] https://github.com/example/repo.git

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'all' downloads everything, no reduction.

Using 'tree:0' filters trees, not blobs.

Using 'blob:all' downloads all blobs, no reduction.

The --filter=blob:none option tells Git to exclude blobs (file contents) during clone, reducing download size.

Complete the command to fetch missing blobs after a partial clone.

Git

git fetch origin [1]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

A--filter=blob:limit=0

B--no-filter

C--filter=blob:none

D--filter=blob:deepen=1

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'blob:none' fetches no blobs.

Using 'blob:limit=0' fetches no blobs.

Using 'blob:deepen=1' is for shallow clones, not partial clones.

The --no-filter option fetches all objects including missing blobs to complete the clone.

hard

Fix the error in the partial clone command to correctly specify the filter option.

Git

git clone --filter [1] https://github.com/example/repo.git

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ablob:none

Bblob:none --depth=1

Cfilter=blob:none

D--blob:none

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Adding extra dashes '--' before the filter value.

Including 'filter=' inside the blank.

Appending unrelated options inside the blank.

The correct syntax is --filter=blob:none. The blank replaces the value after --filter=.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a partial clone and fetch missing blobs later.

Git

git clone --filter [1] https://github.com/example/repo.git && git fetch origin [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ablob:none

B--filter=blob:none

C--no-filter

Dblob:unshallow

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '--filter=' in the first blank.

Using 'no-filter' without '--' in the fetch command.

Mixing up the order of filter options.

Use blob:none to exclude blobs during clone, then --no-filter to fetch missing blobs.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a partial clone, fetch missing blobs, and check the clone status.

Git

git clone --filter [1] https://github.com/example/repo.git && git fetch origin [2] && git [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Ablob:none

B--no-filter

Cstatus

Dlog

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'log' instead of 'status' for the last command.

Omitting '--' in the fetch command.

Using '--filter=' in the clone filter blank.

Clone with blob:none, fetch missing blobs with --no-filter, then check status with git status.
