I checked the documentation and scanned through the source code for clone: https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/clone.c And nothing jumps out at me as a way to specify a default depth using a global git configuration file. I see the option defined at https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/builtin/clone.c#L87 Since c is not my primary programming language, it may well be that there is some common parsing function/file which automatically maps command options to config file options. So, is there a way to set a default depth for the clone command? -- Best Regards, Gary Gary A. Mort Backend Developer | Shero Designs, Inc.
