Quick Developer Cheat Sheet

Bookmark or save these commands for daily development. Click Copy to run them directly in your terminal:

# 1. Most Popular: Shallow Clone (Single Branch, Depth 1)
git clone --depth 1 https://ghproxy.icu/https://github.com/torvalds/linux.git
# 2. Transparent Global Acceleration (Auto Rewrite Submodules)
git config --global url."https://ghproxy.icu/https://github.com/".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
# 3. Increase Buffer Size (Fixes RPC failed: HTTP 413/502)
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000
# 4. Aria2 16-Thread Concurrency for Large Release Files
aria2c -s 16 -x 16 -k 1M -c "https://ghproxy.icu/https://github.com/owner/repo/releases/download/v1.0/file.zip"
