<!-- Answer --> To implement the suggestions for mitigating the out-of-memory error in DevLake's gitextractor plugin, follow these steps: 1. **Enable Shallow Cloning**: - Ensure that the `NoShallowClone` option is set to `false`. This allows the use of the `shallowClone` method, which fetches only the latest commits. - Check the `CloneRepoConfig` struct in the code to verify this setting <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/parser/clone_gitcli.go)</sup>. 2. **Adjust Configuration Options**: - Modify the configuration file or API request to set `SkipCommitStat` and `SkipCommitFiles` to `true`. This reduces the amount of data processed. - Verify that `UseGoGit` is set to `false` by checking the configuration settings. If not explicitly set, it defaults to `false` <sup>[[2]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/impl/impl.go)</sup>. 3. **Configure Batch Processing**: - Adjust the `BatchSaveDivider` batch size in the `NewDatabase` function. The default batch size is 100, but you can modify it to a smaller value if needed to manage memory usage <sup>[[3]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/store/database.go)</sup>. 4. **Consider Double Cloning**: - If shallow cloning is insufficient, you might need to implement the `doubleClone` method. This involves performing a full clone into an intermediary directory followed by a shallow clone. Ensure that the `NoShallowClone` option is set appropriately to enable this method <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/parser/clone_gitcli.go)</sup>. By following these steps, you can optimize the gitextractor plugin's performance and reduce memory usage during the cloning process. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
