2.5GB is for the full history, if you only care about the main branch,
you can clone with:

  git clone --branch=main --single-branch https...

It will cut .git down to about 1.2GB.


If you do not care about the history and only want the tip of the
branch, you can also use:

  git clone --branch=main --depth 1 https...

This will cut it down even more to about 270MB.
