How to pull specific directory with git

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.

In an empty directory:

git init
git remote add [REMOTE_NAME] [GIT_URL]
git fetch REMOTE_NAME
git checkout REMOTE_NAME/BRANCH -- path/to/directory
