CPM itself does not handle the download/clone operation. This task is performed by CMake's FetchContent module.
You can add GIT_SHALLOW TRUE
to the CPMAddPackage
call, although I am unsure if this setting is forwarded when cloning submodules. Other than that, there isn't much we can do.
For more options related to git, you can take a look here. I only took a quick look, but haven't found anything that could help.
On a sidenote: Any argument that isn't part of the CPMAddPackage
signature is forwarded to FetchContent_*
.
(We should probably document this somewhere if it isn't : ) )
Some projects that project depends on may have a large number of submodules. Can CPM clone these projects without history or with a history depth limitation for all submodules?
I.e.: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17692710/7883447
Is it possible?
This will probably have a good effect on increasing build speed.
