Repository checkout and Git LFS downloads are now faster

Repository checkout and Git LFS downloads are now faster on Vercel, reducing the time spent preparing your project's files before a build.

During rollout on build machines with more than two vCPUs:

• The average time to get project files ready fell by 20%.
• For LFS-enabled projects, the average time to get project files ready fell by 54%, saving approximately 13 seconds per deployment on this step.
• The 90th-percentile time to get project files ready fell by 22%. This means 90% of deployments finish this step in that time or less.

These improvements apply automatically, with no action required. Read the Git deployment documentation to learn more.
