+### Help! Cloning the repo doesn't work for me
+
+If you are receiving errors cloning the repo, it may be an unstable internet
+connection causing issues.
+
+First, please check your internet connection, or use another connection if
+possible.
+
+One option to reduce the amount of content that needs to be downloaded
+is to do a shallow clone:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Shallow clone only the `development` branch
+    git clone --depth 1 --no-single-branch https://github.com/hotosm/fmtm.git
+    ```
+
+To pull additional branches as you need them (for example, to work on them):
+
+    ```bash
+    git fetch origin branch-name
+    git checkout branch-name
+    ```
+
+As an **absolute last resort**, you could try the following:
+
+    ```bash
+    # Set HTTP version to 1.1 for stability (multiple connections vs multiplexing)
+    git config --global http.version HTTP/1.1
+
+    # Increase timeout to 3 minutes
+    git config --global http.lowSpeedTime 180
+
+    # Allow retries in case of failure
+    git config --global http.retry 3
+
+    # Disable integrity checks for easier resume
+    git config --global fetch.fsckObjects false
+    git config --global fetch.writeCommitGraph false
+
+    # Your clone command here...
+    ```
