Idiomatic way of specifying --single-branch argument

[am11]

Hello, AFAIK, the fastest way to clone just a single branch of a huge repository requires the following arguments:

git clone $REPO_URL   \
  --branch $BRANCH    \
  --depth 1           \
  --single-branch

With with: fetch-depth: 1, we get --depth 1, but I could not find a way to specify the last argument --single-branch, which skips fetching details of all branches except for the one specified by --branch (or default branch, if --branch or -b was skipped). Without --single-branch, it means "get depth 1 of all branches", and in case there are many (100+) branches, it is a sheer waste of time and resource for those who are interested in just one branch during the build (i.e. a common use-case).

Is there an idiomatic way to specify it? If not, please consider it for the future version.

Cheers!

Hey guys, any updates so far? Looks like this still not implemented.

Also looking for something like this. Could not reproduce using git commands after running actions/checkout

Is there any update on this? Or at least - can you provide an approach that does something similar to what is required?
