Issue git deploys entire repo not just changes

[thinkingcap]

Is there a way of getting only changed files to deploy instead of slam dunking the entire repo over the top of the deploy directory?

Thanks
Dave.

Hello, Dave
Normal workflow for git is this way:
- Clone repo into folder
- Update (deploy) changes using git pull

BTW you can look at partial clone feature Git - partial-clone Documentation
Or using git export Git - git-archive Documentation to get latest files as archive

From my point of view using full clone should be simple and straightforward. You need to download full repo only once.
