There is still significant value in support for this feature. It's not present in the toolchain-manager version 0.15.0. Is there any plan to incorporate support for `git clone --depth 1 <repo>` when downloading 4GB of toolchain development history is not appropriate?

Any news of that? A shallow clone for all NCS would be very useful for space restricted environments like Azure pipeline builds...

I'll pass the shallow clone / depth switch along to the toolchain team.

Sounds like there was some network troubles over the weekend. Glad to hear that you got it running in the end.

Kind regards,

Håkon
