The `build.sh` clones the entire repo and then immediately switches to a single branch: https://github.com/intel/linux-kernel-overlay/blob/02bedab64a4a4e80a524015ab02bf252f2c1068e/build.sh#L57C2-L60 This could be streamlined by downloading a single branch, with something like: ``` shell git clone $KSRC_REPO --branch $KSRC_UPSTREAM_TAG --single-branch $BUILD_DIR ``` and remove the push / pop. This downloads a smaller subset and is much faster.
