*Things I learned today.* When running `pip install --editable path/to/leo` the *"Installing build dependencies ..."* step can take a loooong time. Apparently this is because it creates a copy of the folder tree including the `.git` folder, which can be quite large (ref <https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/2195>). My machine right now: .git is 183 MB, while Leo is only 40 MB.
Solution: periodically create a new leo-editor shallow clone <https://www.google.com/search?q=git+shallow+clone>: cd d:\code git clone --depth=100 https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor.git d:/code/shallow-leo-editor move d:\code\leo-editor d:\code\leo-editor-bloated move d:\code\shallow-leo-editor d:\code\leo-editor At current commit rate - depth=100 is 6 months of history and 60mb (.git & Leo together) - depth=500 is 2 years and 73 MB - depth={infinity} is 11 years and 242 MB -matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
