Summary
This PR introduces a new mechanism to address the limitations of git hosting services that do not support shallow cloning, such as Azure DevOps. Specifically, it performs a secondary shallow clone locally to reduce the number of commits collected, optimizing the overall process.
Additional Enhancements:
Refactors the clone logic to enhance code readability.
Fixes the SSL verification issue, ensuring secure and reliable connections.
