GIT: Checkout to a specific folder

by

Another solution which is a bit cleaner – just specify a different work tree.

To checkout everything from your HEAD (not index) to a specific out directory:

git --work-tree=/path/to/outputdir checkout HEAD -- .

To checkout a subdirectory or file from your HEAD to a specific directory:

git --work-tree=/path/to/outputdir checkout HEAD -- subdirname
