Selective checkout

ℹ️ Requires a Team plan

To save storage space, you can select which folders of a Git repository should be synchronized and which should not. This is useful if, for example, you store your kind assets in the Git repository and the programmer in your team does not want to download the kind assets.

Selective download does not work with other Git clients like GitHub Desktop. If you want to work with them in parallel, you will need to download the entire project.

Options

Download/Unload

This command is available in the context menu of the tree view on the left. Downloads the contents of the Git repository or frees up space.

Create Empty Folder

For example, if you want to create an asset in an “assets” folder (which is your database), but don’t want to download all the content in it, you can simply create the empty folder (in this case “assets”) as an empty folder, so you can create subfolders or add files to it.
