👍

Updated, thanks y'all!

Waiting to add a few more links to the changes that were made.

Just realised that I should probably also add a short section on how to convert a shallow clone to a full clone for those that are still on < 1.0.0.beta.6.

Are we using just git fetch --unshallow ?

[orta]

Yep - https://twitter.com/CocoaPods/status/707340665462636544

Seeing that comment I realized I didn't execute it on my work Mac so I tried and here's the error I got:

$ cd /.cocoapods/repos/master
$ git fetch --unshallow
fatal: --unshallow on a complete repository does not make sense

[orta]

you might have:

• already done it
• or used a CP beta that changed it
• have an old specs repo that was never shallow

[AliSoftware]

Aaaah maybe I already did it anyway indeed; makes sense now… the error was confusing me because I thought "a complete repo" in the sense of "the whole directory, unshallowing from the root of your working copy", not "a complete, already unshallowed copy" but now it's so obvious…

Looks good @alloy <3

Ok everybody, I had to remove the numbered lists (as it breaks with multiple paragraphs) and nested lists because that didn’t work at all.

@mhagger @vmg @mikemcquaid @arthurnn Before posting this on our blog, I’d like to give you the chance to review for correctness from your point of view. I’d like to post this over the next few days.

[mhagger]

The draft looks correct regarding the things I know about the subject. Thanks for fixing these problems, and thanks for the writeup! :sparkles:

[alloy]

@mhagger Thanks for reviewing!

[alloy]

Ok, let’s do it.
