## Enabling partial clone
GitLab 12.1 uses Git 2.21.0 which has an arbitrary file access security
vulnerability when `uploadpack.allowFilter` is enabled, and should not be
enabled in production environments.
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/issues/1553) in GitLab 12.4.
A feature flag is planned to enable `uploadpack.allowFilter` and
`uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant` once the version of Git used by GitLab has been
updated to Git 2.22.0.
To enable partial clone, use the [feature flags API](../../api/features.md).
For example:
Follow [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/issues/1553) for
updated.
```sh
curl --data "value=true" --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/features/gitaly_upload_pack_filter
```
Alternatively, flip the switch and enable the feature flag:
```ruby
Feature.enable(:gitaly_upload_pack_filter)
```
