How to Sparse checkout with Tortoise Git?


The working way to sparse checkout using git bash is:

git clone \
--depth 1  \
--filter=blob:none  \
--sparse \
https://github.com/darc-coder/FindMyQRApp \
cd test-git-partial-clone
git sparse-checkout set js

How do we sparse checkout this same code using Tortoise Git - Git clone tool? I am getting unknown options error while running this command.

Git clone - Tortoise Git Window


Solution

  • As of version 2.15 sparse checkout is not supported, yet.

    cf. https://tortoisegit.org/issue/1599 and https://tortoisegit.org/issue/3667
