[git-users] Could you please tell me how to fetch a single file?
Git documentation is useless, I don't know how to do the same as svn update file with git. No one mentions it and I'm desperate because I fucked up something in production and don't know how to fix it.

Re: [git-users] Could you please tell me how to fetch a single file?
i agree with David - i find it a bit unfair to say that Git documentation is useless. as i said there is excellent documentation out there written by people in their free time. of course i understand that not everybody can invest time in Git details but i also think that you don't need many commands to survive with everyday Git situations - i bet you can live a fulfilled Git life with 10 commands. it is possible that there may not be many ultracompact Git tutorials. but only we can change that: the community. r.

let's say you want it from origin/master: $ git checkout origin/master file and you are welcome, radovan On Tue, 01 Nov 2011 20:24:31 +0100, Rambo demia...@gmail.com wrote: git checkout file reverts the file...

I did that and nothing happens, no log, nothing... what's that supposed to mean? the file did not update either... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

If you're asking how do I pull only one specific file from the remote server, I think the short answer is: you can't, Git is not SVN. However, if you're against doing a full pull, you could do `git fetch origin; git checkout origin/master -- file`. This will do a full update from the origin server, but leave your master branch untouched, since there's no merge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Re: [git-users] Could you please tell me how to fetch a single file?
That worked, but I don't know why, as any git command I don't understand what it does. When I do git fetch, where does everything do? It stays flying somewhere until I merge with my branch? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.
