The bigger a repository gets, the longer it takes to download to your
agents. Bypass the git clone bottleneck by skipping the
download entirely! The agent can now clone repositories from a shared
local mirror, rather than pulling the entire repository from its
origin on each job.
Agent and platform
Git mirror
