Truncate/reduce repo size

[Greg-Myers-SB]

Hi, Firstly, I love the repo and site, great work!

I was cloning down your repo and I noticed it's quite a bit larger than expected. I assume something in the past was merged and removed at a later date because the current size isn't that big.

 developer-roadmap$ du -h -d1
 16K	./bin
 16M	./tests
 42M	./public
 12K	./.github
983M	./.git
8.0K	./.vscode
9.5M	./src
1.0G	.

I used this script to take a look at what was taking the space and it looks like a bunch of the same packaged nextjs blobs over and over that are no longer in the folder.

developer-roadmap$ ./size.bash
All sizes are in kB. The pack column is the size of the object, compressed, inside the pack file.

Is there any desire or way to trim the repo?

This isn't a major issue, feel free to close and ignore if this isn't seen as an issue. Regards, Greg

Hey, so I was looking into this, and found that you can use the depth parameter to reduce the repo size. Like this

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/kamranahmedse/developer-roadmap.git

This downloads the repo without the history, which significantly reduces it from about 47,000 objects to about a mere 5000.

I also added a little note regarding this in the readme.md file. Am submitting PR @Greg-Myers-SB @kamranahmedse

Hey there!

Looks like this issue has been hanging around for a bit without much action. Our roadmaps have evolved quite a bit since then, and a bunch of older issues aren't really applicable anymore. So, we're tidying things up by closing out the older ones to keep our issue tracker nice and organized for future feedback.

If you still think this problem needs addressing, don't hesitate to reopen the issue. We're here to help!

Thanks a bunch!
