Slow speed on git clone

There are three tricks I try for a quick cloning:

• update hosts file

       a. add 

192.30.253.112  github.com
192.30.253.113  github.com
151.101.185.194 github.global.ssl.fastly.net

to your /etc/hosts

check github.com ip at ipaddress.

    b. then run 

       

$ sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

   update dns 

    this do work for me on the second day.

• Kill the command and try again. Do this a few times, see if you can get a faster connection. This works most of the times.

   

• Fetch only the latest revision first and then fetch the rest:

$ git clone --depth=1 git@github.com:wangbingfeng/regular-investing-in-box.git
$ cd regular-investing-in-box
$ git fetch --unshallow

note: https link is slightly faster than ssh connection
