`gecko-dev` checkout takes 10m #818

Open abitrolly opened 2 years ago

abitrolly commented 2 years ago

A checkout of https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev repo takes 10m using this step.

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          repository: mozilla/gecko-dev
          path: gecko-dev
          fetch-depth: 0

Is it possible to speed up it somehow? Like through https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/contents#download-a-repository-archive-zip

Explicitly mentioning branch makes clone 1m slower.

      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          repository: mozilla/gecko-dev
          path: gecko-dev
          ref: master
          fetch-depth: 0

But the clone commands are the same https://github.com/abitrolly/firefox-lang-stats/runs/6716850948?check_suite_focus=true

Maybe it is possible to cache repo clone? https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#usage-limits-and-eviction-policy
