A trick to reduce plugin download time?

[travisbikkle]

How about add a "--depth=1" to git.lua and init.lua? It may greatly reduce the time it takes to download plugins like treesitter...
I don't think most people need to use git history of those plugins most of the time.

M.clone = {
  skip = function(plugin)
    return plugin._.installed or plugin._.is_local
  end,
  ---@async
  run = function(self)
    throttle.wait()
    local args = {
      "clone",
      "--depth=1", -- add this line, or add a config
      self.plugin.url,
    }

    if Config.options.git.filter then
      args[#args + 1] = "--filter=blob:none"
    end

    if self.plugin.submodules ~= false then
      args[#args + 1] = "--recurse-submodules"
    end

    args[#args + 1] = "--origin=origin"
