Microsoft DevOps Engineer Expert AZ-400 Practice Question
Your Azure DevOps project contains a Git repository that has grown to 15 GB and now includes more than 600 000 files. Developers report that a fresh clone or checkout of a new branch routinely takes more than 15 minutes. You need to shorten these operations without splitting the repository and without forcing developers to adopt unfamiliar day-to-day workflows. Which solution should you recommend?
Enable Git Large File Storage (LFS) and track all binary artifacts in the repository.
Use Scalar to configure partial clone and repository maintenance on developer machines.
Move binary artifacts to a git-fat remote and add git-fat hooks to every client.
Refactor the repository into multiple Git submodules based on major folders.
Scalar is a Microsoft-supported tool that configures large repositories to use Git features such as partial clone, commit-graph, multi-pack index, and background maintenance. These features reduce network transfer and accelerate commands like clone, fetch, and checkout while preserving a normal Git workflow. Git LFS and git-fat target individual large files, leaving the vast majority of small files-and therefore clone time-unchanged. Converting the codebase into submodules would reduce the size of each clone but introduces new commands and coordination overhead for every contributor, violating the requirement to avoid workflow changes.
