When cloning a repo with git, there are a few ways you can clone it to save as much hard drive space as possible:

1. --depth
--depth

```bash
git clone --depth 1 <repository-url>
```

2. --single-branch
--single-branch

```bash
git clone --single-branch --branch <branch-name> <repository-url>
```

3. git clone --filter
--filter
--filter=blob:none

```bash
git clone --filter=blob:none <repository-url>
```

Note that using any of these options may limit your ability to work with the repository, since you won't have access to the full history or all the files in the repository. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
