Git only download files in one folder

Show activity on this post. Yes, it's easy to git fetch only one git sub-directory. Suppose you have the following project directory in your remote git-repo. project/ ├── code └── data. For the moment assume that you have cloned the project to your local filesystem as a git repository. $ cd project $ rm -rf code #now we try to fetch. +1 The git archive approach was my first try - but then I noticed that requiring tar on the client machine wasn't exactly convenient for Windows users. We ended up fetching from our local cgit server. It works, but it's not as fast as I'd like it to be (and it still requires running unix2dos or similiar on Windows machines since we store files with Unix line endings in the Git repository).Reviews: 3.  · If you truly just want to just "download" the folder and not "clone" it (for development), the easiest way to simply get a copy of the most recent version of the repository (and therefore a folder/file within it), without needing to clone the whole repo or even install git in the first place, is to download a zip archive (for any repo, fork, branch, commit, etc.) by going to the desired Reviews: 6.

For example, if you only wanted to pull the file called "bltadwin.ru", try: $ git lfs pull --include "bltadwin.ru". Or, if you only wanted to pull files matching the ".dat" extension, try: $ git lfs pull --include "*.dat". When given either the --include or --exclude, LFS will only pull files that are explicitly included and not excluded. As Ben pointed out, you may use git stash path/to/file path/to/other/file to stash specific files. Another handy tip is that git provides very detailed man pages for each sub-command! However, these pages are somewhat tricky to find if you don't know the secret: Use man git-!. So if you are struggling with making stash do what you want, you can run man git-stash in your. Choosing a file to merge. Next, we note down the branch name of our updated file and its location. This allows us to insert it into our current directory using. git checkout --patch fix_branch folder1/bltadwin.ru If we forget to include the --patch argument the current file will be overwritten by that within the 'fix_branch'.

For the moment assume that you have cloned the project to your local filesystem as a git repository. $ cd project $ rm -rf code #now we try to fetch. git checkout -m git add git commit. Regarding the git checkout command: - a branch name, i.e. origin/master does not include the repository name (that you can get from clicking copy path button on a file page on GitHub), i.e. bltadwin.ru If you truly just want to just "download" the folder and not "clone" it (for development), the easiest way to simply get a copy of the most recent version of the repository (and therefore a folder/file within it), without needing to clone the whole repo or even install git in the first place, is to download a zip archive (for any repo, fork.
