<ul>
<li>Change directory to where you want the llvm directory placed.</li>
<li><tt>git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git</tt></li>
+ <li>The above command is very slow. It can be made faster by creating a
shallow clone. Shallow clone saves storage and speeds up the checkout time.
This is done by using the command:
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git
(using this only the latest version of llvm can be built)</tt></li>
+ <li>For normal users looking to just compile, this command works fine.
But if someone later becomes a contributor, since they can't push code from a
shallow clone, it needs to be converted into a full clone:
+ <ul>
+ <li><tt>cd llvm-project</tt></li>
+ <li><tt>git fetch --unshallow</tt></li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>

</li>
<li>Build LLVM and Clang:
