Sparse Checkout Buildkite Plugin

A Buildkite plugin for creating a sparse checkout of a repository.

This is useful for pipeline upload steps that dont need to access files outside the .buildkite directory. If your repository is large, this plugin will speed up your pipelines by only pulling the files relevant to the step.

Configuration

These are all the options available to configure this plugin’s behaviour.

Required

paths (list of string)

Paths accepted by git sparse-checkout set.

Optional

no_cone (‘true’ or ‘false’)

Whether to pass --no-cone to git sparse-checkout so that the paths are considered to be a list of patterns.

skip_ssh_keyscan (‘true’ or ‘false’)

Whether to skip ssh-keyscan step. This will skip adding each ssh public key into the known-hosts file. Only use if ssh keys are already setup.
