If it’s potato in the sense of CPU specs, you don’t need a non-potato machine for this stuff.
Also if you’ve already cloned a project you’ve already got the history (unless you specifically told git not to do that). It generally isn’t huge. So like, you don’t even need tons of disk space unless you want to download a metric buttload of projects and/or they’re weirdly huge and long-historied (I bet the linux kernel repo is pretty big for instance).
