I have clone the full repo before. so I run the following command.
cd main
git sparse-checkout init --cone
echo -e '/*\n!/client/*' > .git/info/sparse-checkout
git checkout
then the output
warning: unrecognized negative pattern: '/client/*'
warning: disabling cone pattern matching
Updating files: 100% (429011/429011), done.
and the .git/info/sparse-checkout file:
/*
!/client/*
after checkout, the client dir is still there, I think it should not be there, where is something wrong? I read the blog https://github.blog/2020-01-17-bring-your-monorepo-down-to-size-with-sparse-checkout/ and didn't get it. Could someone explain it， Thanks!
