This PR cleans up the docs in a way to make them simpler to ingest by our [docs repo](https://gitea.com/gitea/gitea-docusaurus). 1. It includes all of the sed invocations our ingestion did, removing the need to do it at build time. 2. It replaces the shortcode variable replacement method with `@variable@` style, simply for easier sed invocations when required. 3. It removes unused files and moves the docs up a level as cleanup. --------- Signed-off-by: jolheiser <john.olheiser@gmail.com>

# Clone filters (partial clone)
|
|
|
|
Git introduces `--filter` option to `git clone` command, which filters out
|
|
large files and objects (such as blobs) to create partial clone of a repo.
|
|
Clone filters are especially useful for large repo and/or metered connection,
|
|
where full clone (without `--filter`) can be expensive (as all history data
|
|
must be downloaded).
|
|
|
|
This requires Git version 2.22 or later, both on the Gitea server and on the
|
|
client. For clone filters to work properly, make sure that Git version
|
|
on the client is at least the same as on the server (or later). Login to
|
|
Gitea server as admin and head to Site Administration -> Configuration to
|
|
see Git version of the server.
|
|
|
|
By default, clone filters are enabled, unless `DISABLE_PARTIAL_CLONE` under
|
|
`[git]` is set to `true`.
|

See [GitHub blog post: Get up to speed with partial clone](https://github.blog/2020-12-21-get-up-to-speed-with-partial-clone-and-shallow-clone/)
|
|
for common use cases of clone filters (blobless and treeless clones), and
|
|
[GitLab docs for partial clone](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/git/partial_clone.html)
|
|
for more advanced use cases (such as filter by file size and remove
|
|
filters to turn partial clone into full clone).
