Git Sparse-Checkout

We don't want every device that needs any part of the Jafner.net monorepo to get all of the monorepo. So we use git-sparse-checkout to pull only one or more subpaths when we clone.

Ensure that the device to be configured has an SSH pubkey with permission to pull/push to the repository.

mkdir ~/Jafner.net
cd ~/Jafner.net
git config --global init.defaultBranch main
git init
git config core.sparseCheckout true
git config core.fileMode false 
git config pull.ff only 
git config init.defaultBranch main
echo "homelab/$HOSTNAME/" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git remote add -f origin ssh://git@gitea.jafner.tools:2225/Jafner/Jafner.net.git
git pull
