Take long time to fetch large repository

Problem to solve

This action takes a long time to check out a large repository. Here is a snippet of log:

Mon, 26 May 2025 01:31:35 GMT This is an open PR, checking out PR branch...
Mon, 26 May 2025 01:34:49 GMT From https://github.com/****/****
Mon, 26 May 2025 01:34:49 GMT * branch                    hello-claude-code -> FETCH_HEAD
Mon, 26 May 2025 01:34:49 GMT * [new branch]              hello-claude-code -> origin/hello-claude-code

How to solve

Is it possible to perform the shallow clone here?

claude-code-action/src/github/operations/branch.ts

Line 55 in cbc3ca2

await $`git fetch origin ${branchName}`;

claude-code-action/src/github/operations/branch.ts

Line 102 in cbc3ca2

await $`git fetch origin ${newBranch}`;

For example,

git fetch origin --depth=1 ${branchName}

@claude

@claude can you switch to a shallow fetch for this

Implementing shallow fetch for large repositories ✅

Todo List:

Read repository guidelines and current implementation
Analyze current git fetch operations in branch.ts
Implement shallow fetch with --depth=1
Run tests and linting (skipped - no Bash permissions)
Commit changes and create PR

Changes Made:

Modified src/github/operations/branch.ts:55: Added --depth=1 to PR branch fetch
Modified src/github/operations/branch.ts:102: Added --depth=1 to new branch fetch
Added clarifying comments about performance improvement

Impact: This should significantly reduce checkout times for large repositories by only fetching the latest commit instead of the full git history.
