edX provisioning Issue: get stuck at, TASK: [edxapp | checkout edx-platform repo into {{edxapp_code_dir}}]

I am trying to install edX developer stack in my local system. I am facing the issue: edx-platform checkout failure but difference is that it's stuck at the first line:

==> default: TASK: [edxapp | checkout edx-platform repo into {{edxapp_code_dir}}] **********

and my local system gets very slow. I've checked the remote origin is set to https://github.com/edx/edx-platform.git. Any suggestion/help on this topic? I am using Ubuntu-14.04 with 2GB memory.

As discussed in the comments, the provisioning got stuck because of a memory issue.

When using a Virtual Machine, it's better to not allocate the maximum possible memory to it, otherwise your host machine won't have anymore air to breathe and couldn't do fundamental stuff anymore. A VM usually tends to use as much memory as you will allow it.

Hardware memory  |  VM memory
       4GB      ->   max. 2GB
       2GB      ->   max. 1GB

Because I found my 4GB host machine quite slow with a 2GB VM, I am now using 1GB on the VM which is squarely enough to run edX.
