When I go to https://github.com/zxing/zxing I find that the code I want is under https://github.com/zxing/zxing/tree/c1df162b95e07928afbd4830798cc1408af1ac67/actionscript
I have forked and downloaded the master, but can't figure out what I am supposed to do to get this release.
pretty easy done
git checkout c1df162b95e07928afbd4830798cc1408af1ac67
and you are on exactly that revision, while
git checkout master
brings you back to the master branch
You can use git checkout to get the release.
The git checkout command lets you navigate between the branches created by git branch. Checking out a branch updates the files in the working directory to match the version stored in that branch, and it tells Git to record all new commits on that branch. Think of it as a way to select which line of development you’re working on.
So, let's use your git address to do it:
git checkout address
Which, in this case, would be:
git checkout c1df162b95e07928afbd4830798cc1408af1ac67
Using git checkout is a breeze, and if you ever want to get back to master, you can just use git checkout again.
git checkout master
