Multicopy VS git-sizer

• Enhanced Productivity
  Allows users to copy multiple items to the clipboard, saving time during data entry and management tasks.
• User-Friendly Interface
  Features an intuitive interface that makes it easy to manage multiple copied items and retrieve them when necessary.
• Customization Options
  Provides various settings for users to customize their experience, such as hotkeys and clipboard history size.
• Cross-Compatibility
  Compatible with various web applications, ensuring seamless integration into existing workflows.
• Free to Use
  Available as a free extension in the Chrome Web Store, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

Possible disadvantages

• Privacy Concerns
  Potential security risks associated with storing sensitive information in the clipboard, which may be accessed by other software or extensions.
• Limited to Google Chrome
  Only available as a Chrome extension, limiting use for people who prefer other browsers such as Firefox or Safari.
• Resource Intensive
  May consume additional memory and processing power, potentially slowing down system performance, especially on lower-end devices.
• No Support for Complex Data
  Works well with plain text and simple data but may not handle complex data types like images or formatted text as smoothly.
• Reliability Issues
  Some users may experience occasional bugs or crashes, which could disrupt workflow and productivity.

• Comprehensive Repository Analysis
  git-sizer analyzes many different dimensions of a Git repository including commit count, tree size, blob size, history depth, and reference counts, providing a holistic view of repository health and potential scaling issues.
• Easy to Use
  The tool is simple to run with minimal setup—just execute it within a git repository—and it produces clear, human-readable output that highlights potential problem areas without requiring complex configuration.
• Identifies Performance Bottlenecks
  It helps identify specific issues that could degrade Git performance, such as excessively large blobs, deep history, large trees, or too many references, which is valuable before migrating or scaling repositories.
• Open Source and Maintained by GitHub
  Being an official GitHub project, it benefits from credibility, community trust, and ongoing maintenance, and it is well documented with clear explanations of what each metric means.
• Useful for Pre-Migration Checks
  It's particularly helpful for teams migrating repositories to new platforms or consolidating repos, as it flags potential issues that could cause problems during migration or with hosting providers' limits.

Possible disadvantages

• No Automatic Remediation
  git-sizer only identifies and reports issues but does not offer any built-in tools or automated processes to fix problems like large blobs or excessive history depth—users must use separate tools like BFG Repo-Cleaner or git-filter-repo.
• Output Can Be Overwhelming for Beginners
  While detailed, the output includes many metrics and threshold levels that may be confusing for users unfamiliar with Git internals, requiring some learning curve to fully interpret results.
• Limited to Local Analysis
  The tool analyzes a local clone of the repository, so it requires users to have a full local copy of the repo (or at least enough history) to get accurate results, which can be time-consuming for very large repositories.
• No Real-Time Monitoring
  It functions as a one-time analysis tool rather than providing continuous or real-time monitoring of repository health, requiring manual reruns to track changes over time.
• Command-Line Only Interface
  The tool lacks a graphical user interface, which may be less accessible for users who prefer visual dashboards or are less comfortable with command-line tools.

  Also there’s a cool project from GitHub you can use to help understand the size of git’s objects in your git repo https://github.com/github/git-sizer. This might help you determine what the best cloning strategy could be. Source: almost 5 years ago
