+
+NOTE: **Note**: As of GitLab 12.0, newly created projects will automaticallyl have a default
+`git depth` value of `50`.
+
+It is possible to limit the number of changes that GitLab CI/CD will fetch when cloning
+a repository. Setting a limit to `git depth` can speed up Pipelines execution. Maximum
+allowed value is `1000`.
+
+To disable shallow clone and make GitLab CI/CD fetch all branches and tags each time,
+keep the value empty or set to `0`.
+
+This value can also be [overridden by `GIT_DEPTH`](../../../ci/large_repositories/index.md#shallow-cloning) variable in `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
