Now I want a way to get only these two files [style.css, abc.php] in the working directory. 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: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Now I want a way to get only these two files [style.css, abc.php] in the working directory. `git show` does that. For instance, you're working on develop but would like to get the contents of a file main.css as it's currently on master. If so, you'd use git show master:main.css to get the contents of main.css on master printed. If you want to actually save it somewhere (it seems, you do), redirect the output: git show master:main.css whatever.css If you redirect the output to main.css as well, its content will be overwritten with the contents of main.css on master -- effectively as if you've checked out that single file from master. Consequently, `git checkout` can do that as well ;-) To replace the contents of a checked out file with its contents in another revision, do git checkout revision pathname1 pathname2 ... for instance, you could do git chekcout master main.css Please note that all these examples assume the file named main.css is in the root directory of the repository (and the work tree), that is, at the top level. If it's in a subdirectory (or deeper), you should specify that part of a pathname as well, for instance: git show master:assets/styles/main.css git checkout master^3:assets/scripts/lib/jquery-min.js -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

[git-users] Re: Getting the list of files which are changed
I think your question might need some clarification. So when you say download the files, I'm not clear on what you mean. Do you want to have the files placed somewhere outside the working directory? If so, I believe cat-file is going to be needed. When you pass in a SHA of a BLOB which relates to a file at a specific stage in its life, you will have the plain text of this file. You may also need to expand on current commit. Do you mean a commit that is currently being crafted (you've stages some changes, but just haven't created the commit) or do you mean the commit you currently have checked out?
