I want to know if there is any way instead of cloning the whole massive repo into my computer? Let's say I just want to add a file or folder to a specific folder in the project and the size of project is massive (there are thousands of .png and .jpg files there and it takes an eternity to clone that file). So is there any other way to solve that?

CodePudding user response：

As said above you can use shallow clone or github upload and edit button.

this thread might help you since there's plenty step by step answers to how to do it.
