The Nabla repository is a little too large to casually include in projects (due to unused git objects) about nabla HOT 6 OPEN

Unfortunately we realize the problem exists and we will filter this history at some point, thanks for pointing it out. I've tried to cut the size first here #600. Shall we sort this out @devshgraphicsprogramming?

@expenses current nice solution would be to do shallow clone, you will reduce the size to 6.19 MiB

$ git clone --depth=1 [email protected]:Devsh-Graphics-Programming/Nabla.git .

If Nabla is your submodule you can shallow init and update it too

git submodule update --init --depth=1 <module_path_to_nabla>

If you build Nabla I recommend to let CMake do submodule updates for you, to request shallow updates we have NBL_CI_GIT_SUBMODULES_SHALLOW option, you can also exclude whole examples_tests (and parents) from the submodule request init & update by turning off NBL_BUILD_EXAMPLES option, to toggle the request you can use NBL_UPDATE_GIT_SUBMODULE option

but (I might be mistaken) it seems like it was part of this repository in the past.

indeed, got filtered with git-filter-repo :D

I'd love to be able to include it in my project for some of the glsl built-ins, but this is a little too large for me to casually include it as a git submodule if I just want to use one or two functions.

@expenses you're probably better off justcopying the GLSL over into your project, because we're about to delete it in favour of HLSL.

If you're comfortable with removing these two directories from git history then I say go for it. Obviously that's necessarily an easy decision to make though. examples_tests is now a submodule but (I might be mistaken) it seems like it was part of this repository in the past.

The ditt branch is pretty far behind, and we need to keep it alive for some time (until a new Vulkan Path Tracer replaces the OpenGL+OpenCL+CUDA abomination we made).

Once that's done I'm somewhat open to "truncating" the history.

However I'll probably move out nbl/builtin/hlsl to a submodule first.

Ah, that's a great solution, I totally forgot about shallow clones!

@expenses you're probably better off justcopying the GLSL over into your project, because we're about to delete it in favour of HLSL.

Yep fair enough, I want to switch (back) to HLSL but I'm stuck with GLSL until I can use 8-bit ints, 64-bit atomics and BDA nicely.

8bit is a problem, 64bit work just fine, BDA incoming
