How do I skip cloning and checking out from my repo in Travis CI?

Is there a way to specify in my .travis.yml for a repo repo_x that I do not want to clone that repo or check out any of its branches?

For example, if I have a Homebrew Tap I'm testing, I will be acquiring the components I want to test with brew tap and brew install and will have no need of any of the contents of the Tap's repo.

From https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/customizing-the-build/#disabling-git-clone :

Disabling git clone

In some workflows, like build stages, it might be beneficial to skip the automatic git clone step.

You can do this by adding:

git:
  clone: false

Note that if you use this option, the TRAVIS_COMMIT_MESSAGE environment variable will not be defined.

Interesting question and idea!

In looking at the .travis.yml parser code, there seems to be 3 (possibly 4 options):

git clone --depth=0 is invalid because git returns fatal: depth 0 is not a positive number

The best strategy for an efficient "minimal clone time/impact" for travis may be the following:

git:
  quiet: true
  depth = 1
  submodules = false
