Use

  $ git show HEAD~3:path/to/that/file.html >localfile.html

This command:

1) Reads a commit which is the grand-grand-parent of the HEAD commit.
2) Extracts the contents of the file located at
   "path/to/that/file.html" in that commit and prints it to the standard
   output.
3) Since you want to actually save that contents, you use the shell
   stream redirection ">" to redirect the standard output of the `git`
   program to a file "localfile.html".

To solidify this knowledge, consider now reading the manual page
of the `git show` command and the `gitrevisions(7)` manual page which
will explain what "~N" means and which other nifty forms of
referring to revisions exist.  To read those manual pages, you can
run `git help show` and `git help revisions`.

As a last note, if you want to just *overwrite* your current HTML file
with its contents as recorded in that HEAD~3 commit, you can save typing
and use

  $ git checkout HEAD~3 path/to/local/file.html

[git-users] how to fecth a fil at specifick checksum ?

[Jorge V GM]

Hello:

I am new in git and I am trying to understand it.

I have this case:

a. I develop a html file in several days with daily commit
b. some weeks after I noticed that I lost part of the code
c. I located a code 3 commits ago.

then How I can fetch from the remote repository the html file as was 3 
commit before ? (the whole file)


regards

Jorge VS
