@ -245,6 +245,9 @@ Currently the `type` attribute can be one of the following:
* `./sub/dir` (when used on the command line and `dir/flake.nix` is in a git repository)
* `git+https://example.org/my/repo`
* `git+https://example.org/my/repo?dir=flake1`
* `git+https://example.org/my/repo?shallow=1` A shallow clone of the repository.
For large repositories, the shallow clone option can significantly speed up fresh clones compared
to non-shallow clones, while still providing faster updates than other fetch methods such as `tarball:` or `github:`.
