is there any faster way to download using git?
Hi All, I am trying to download following git branch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git But it is downloading very slow with speed of 10-40 KB/s. So I was wondering is there any faster way to download this branch. Regards Rahul
I believe you may be from India. git clone https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux may be a slightly better choice. It is a mirror maintained by google. But we have pathetic internet speeds in India and so this mirror is more like putting lipstick on a pig :( 2014-03-16 12:15 GMT+05:30 Rahul Garg <rahul.lnmiit@gmail.com>:

A small tip that I use all the time. Once you download your first kernel git repository, you can use it as a reference for future kernel clones, with the --reference option. For instance, git clone --reference ${HOME}/linux/torvalds/ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/some-other-tree/linux.git I keep one 'torvalds' repo, to track Linus' changes and as reference for all my other repos. -- Ezequiel
