Tutorial: How to Optimize Git Download Speed

Due to well-known reasons, our access speed to GitHub is very unstable, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and occasionally we cannot connect at all. This causes issues when trying to clone git projects on the HyperAI platform, or results in extremely slow speeds. We are currently actively researching viable solutions. Before the final solution is available, you can temporarily resolve this using the following method:

Step 1: First go to Gitee and register for a free account

Then find the GitHub project you need to clone, for example:

avinashpaliwal/Super-SloMo super slow motion project

Next, find the corresponding project link https://github.com/avinashpaliwal/Super-SloMo and copy it to your clipboard. Switch to Gitee, click the "+" sign in the upper right corner, and select "Import repository from GitHub / GitLab":

Gitee: Import repository from GitHub / GitLab

On the import interface, paste the GitHub link into "Git Repository URL":

Gitee import interface

At this point, you may see a prompt like the one above, for example:

A public synchronized repository has been detected on Gitee for the repository you are importing. Click the link to visit immediately: https://gitee.com/openbayes/Super-SloMo

If you see such a prompt, it means someone has already imported it before. In this case, you can directly use the link imported by the previous user to replace the GitHub link for cloning. If you're concerned that the content imported by other users might be deleted in the future, you can also manually choose to import it under your own account. Of course, if you see resources imported by openbayes as shown in the image above, feel free to use them - we will not actively delete imported resources.

If you choose to import to your own account, you need to check "Public" in the open source option below, then click import:

Check the public option

After the import is complete, you can directly use the Gitee link to replace the original GitHub link for cloning, achieving acceleration.
