Custom Instructions for Repository Cloning

Resolved 💬 5 comments Opened Sep 8, 2025 by joel Closed Nov 28, 2025

What feature would you like to see?

ChatGPT Codex is unable to clone our repository, which is understandable given that our repository is cluttered with binaries, which makes it super tricky to use CODEX.

To address this, I use a custom cloning command like the following:

git clone --depth=1 --single-branch git@github.com:xxx/yyy.git "${REPO_PATH}"

It would be nice to have a method for providing specific instructions for cloning or optimising the general cloning process.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?
