Projects inside External Storage

[jernel]

Hello, baka lang may nakaka-alam or may nagtry na, recently I bought an external SSD (sandisk extreme) ang balak ko kasi sana ilagay ko lahat ng projects ko inside of it, okay naman kapag nag git clone ako pero kapag nag install na ko ng dependencies (npm install or yarn install) napansin ko na medyo matagal siya mag install and ito talaga yung pinaka napansin ko malaki yung storage yung kinakain niya sa external storage compared sa local storage kapag nag iinstall ng dependencies, I am using MacBook pala kaya na-ipost ko na din dito, I am not really sure kung paano siya ayusin or may kailangan ba ko install, im sure din na walang problem sa external storage. So nagtry na nga ako mag install ng dependencies sa external storage and umabot siya ng 150GB yung node_modules which is really weird. Salamat po sa sasagot.

How are you transferring the project?
Copying and pasting or using GIT clone?

I suggest the latter and create a branch (instead of using master/main)
then create a shallow clone of your remote using this command:

git clone --depth 10 /mnt/you/external/drive/repo.git

I use git clone to transfer, although hmmm would that fix the issue I have since I think git clone doesn't have the dependencies installed yet ie node_modules, although I haven't really tried that, I'm just doing git clone then npm install the dependencies. Thanks! I will try that one
