Deeper git repositories cannot be scanned

I mainly write go language code, the old version of go requires that the project must be stored according to a specific path. The directory hierarchy is deep, for example: GitRepository\golang\src\github.com\golang\net .

I am having a problem: git-fork cannot scan the net git repository when the git-fork "Default clone folder" is set to the GitRepository directory.

After testing, it seems that git-fork has a scan depth limit that only allows scanning of 3 levels of depth of the directory?

Hopefully git-fork will be able to scan deeper git repositories or allow changes to this limit.

Thank you very much

You can drag and drop such repositories manually.

We can probably introduce a hidden option to make the scan deeper.

thank you very much,
Manual drag and drop is effective.
Looking forward to the new version of the update.

Talked about this issue on Twitter. Max Depth currently is 5 Folders,
I'm attempting to use Symbolic Links (NTFS Junctions) On Windows 10 to solve the issue for me but an adjustable depth with a notable performance warning would be nice.

I'll update here with the results of my Symbolic links test.
I expect that they will be successful without issues but I haven't tried them.

As expected when i created a Symbolic Link using powershell in windows 10 the repo showed up when it was <= 5 of folders within the scanned repos.

here's the command I used (Anonymized, alter to your hearts content)

new-item -Path "I:\Work Related\company\references" -Target "I:\Work Related\company\Build-Source\company\references" -ItemType SymbolicLink

to clarify the use and purpose of the command

# For information about New-Item run 
Get-Help New-Item
# For Symbolic Links, the path references the NON-EXISTING folder you want to place the folder at.  and the Target is the EXISTING folder that contains the data you want to have referenced in the path folder. 
# NOTE: the Folder can exists but must not have any record of a file or folder contained within it. if you've added files but since deleted them you will still need to delete the folder (in this case the "I:\Work Related\company\references\" will need to be removed.) 
# The simplest way is to just ensure the folder does not exist prior to creation of the link.
new-item -Path "I:\Work Related\company\references" -Target "I:\Work Related\company\Build-Source\company\references" -ItemType SymbolicLink

@skyhoshi you can edit "ScanDepth" in %localappdata%\fork\settings.json

Hi @DanPristupov,
How to configure this in MacOS?

[DanPristupov]

@apanasenkamaksim scan_depth in ~/Library/Application Support/com.DanPristupov.Fork/repositories.toml

@DanPristupov Thank you very much!
