      No, don’t do that. That modifies the commit hashes, so tags no longer work.

      git clone --filter=blob:none is where it’s at.

        I don’t understand how we’re all using git and it’s not just some backend utility that we all use a sane wrapper for instead.

        Everytime you want to do anything with git it’s a weird series or arcane nonsense commands and then someone cuts in saying “oh yeah but that will destroy x y and z, you have to use this other arcane nonsense command that also sounds nothing like you’re trying to do” and you sit there having no idea why either of them even kind of accomplish what you want.
