Is --depth 1 important enough to warrant including here? I could imagine it occasionally being dangerous, like if the user wanted to pick up an old branch and complete the work.
Also, in #5780 we talk about origin and upstream, do we want to discuss how to set that up?

I thought it will make it easier for the people to contribute, instead of pulling down the whole history of plotly.js.
Curious to know what @nicolaskruchten thinks here?

It appears GitHub recently added a new button which made the process of fetching upstream way easier.

💃 we could always bikeshed on this, but it's a clear improvement so let's merge!
