   It is going to be closed again (or rather moved to discussion).
   
   With git-sync it is impossible to clone sub-directory of a repo. This is not how git and git-sync works. You always have to clone the whole  repository.
   
   How subPath works, is that it makes AIRFLOW_DAGS env variable point to the sub-directory of the cloned repo:
   
   ```
   {{- define "airflow_dags" -}}
     {{- if .Values.dags.gitSync.enabled }}
       {{- printf "%s/dags/repo/%s" .Values.airflowHome .Values.dags.gitSync.subPath }}
     {{- else }}
       {{- printf "%s/dags" .Values.airflowHome }}
     {{- end }}
   {{- end }}
   ```
   
   So when you use subPath, the whole repo is cloned, but Airflow looks for dags only in `subPath` of it.
   
   Converting to discussion, but if you argue with it, you should argue with git and git-sync maintainers, not with Airflow ones.
