Git Repository contains a Shallow Clone¶
A git repository from a shallow clone will contain a truncated commit history and potentially no previous tags, disabling most, if not all, of the Uplift features. Cloning behaviour will differ between CI providers. If detected, Uplift will report the following error:
uplift cannot reliably run against a shallow clone of the repository.
Some features may not work as expected. To suppress this error, use the
'--ignore-shallow' flag, or set the required config.
