Microsoft’s azure docs repo has 1.1M commits, and it’s many gigabytes big. I made the mistake of trying to clone it to fix an issue in the docs I ran into. Ended up just editing it on GitHub because fuck that.

I dont think that works:

    > git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs
    Cloning into 'azure-docs'...
