Improve Git performance in your large scale frontend monorepo by integrating sparse checkout with Rush and PNPM
By default git clone will download every file in your Git repository, as well as the complete history of every file. For small repositories, that's no big deal. But as your monorepo accumulates projects and years of history, Git operations become slower and slower, until one day git status is taking 10 seconds or more. What to do?
Sparo optimizes performance of Git operations for your large frontend monorepo.
Familiar interface: The sparo command-line interface (CLI) wrapper offers better defaults and performance suggestions without altering the familiar git syntax. (The native git CLI is also supported.)
A proven solution: Git provides quite a lot of ingredients for optimizing very large repos; Sparo is your recipe for combining these features intelligently.
Simplified sparse checkout: Work with sparse checkout profiles instead of confusing "cones" and globs
Frontend integration: Sparo leverages Rush and PNPM workspace configurations, including the ability to automatically checkout project dependencies
Dual workflows: The sparo-ci tool implements a specialized checkout model optimized for continuous integration (CI) pipelines
Extra safeguards: Avoid common Git mistakes such as checkouts with staged files outside the active view
Go beyond Git hooks: Optionally collect anonymized Git timing metrics in your monorepo, enabling your build team to set data-driven goals for local developer experience (not just CI!)
(Metrics are transmitted to your own service and are not accessible by any other party.)
