git clone without history using SCM

If you use scripted pipeline then you can customize checkout scm to look more or less like this:

node {
    checkout([
        $class: 'GitSCM',
        branches: scm.branches,
        doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: scm.doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations,
        extensions: scm.extensions,
        userRemoteConfigs: scm.userRemoteConfigs,
        depth: 1
    ])
}

If you use the declarative pipeline, then you need to go to your pipeline job configuration and in the Behaviors section you need to add Git -> Advanced clone behaviors and mark Shallow clone and set Shallow clone depth to 1.
