+    <li>The above command is very slow. It can be made faster by creating a shallow clone. Shallow clone saves storage and speeds up the checkout time. This is done by using the command:
+      <ul>
+        <li><tt>git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git (using this only the latest version of llvm can be built)</tt></li>
+        <li>For normal users looking to just compile, this command works fine. But if someone later becomes a contributor, since they can't push code from a shallow clone, it needs to be converted into a full clone using the command:
+
+          <ul>git fetch --unshallow</ul></li>
