Just to clarify: You have a repo with a branch called `master`. When checking it out you get - style.css - abc.php - foo.php and a bunch of other files that make up the rest of your project then you want to create a branch, `develop`, and when you check it out you only want to get the two files - style.css - abc.php is that a correct understanding? I haven't used it myself, but I suspect what you are looking for is called "sparse checkout". A search for "git sparse checkout" leads to quite a few explanations of it. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: [email protected] jabber: [email protected] twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
