In the recent study, GitHub compared the different clone options to determine how certain options affect Git performance.
The study found that when focusing on a single repository, the best approach is to do a full clone and then always perform a full fetch into that clone.
Also, calculating a shallow fetch is computationally more expensive compared to a full fetch and GitHub recommends always using a full fetch instead of a shallow fetch both in fully and shallow cloned repositories.
