How to pull specific directory with git

by
  1. cd into the top of your repo copy
  2. git fetch

  3. git checkout HEAD path/to/your/dir/or/file

    • Where “path/...” in (3) starts at the directory just below the repo root containing your “.../file“

    • NOTE that instead of “HEAD”, the hash code of a specific commit may be used, and then you will get the revision (file) or revisions (dir) specific to that commit.
