Here is a sample project on github: http://github.com/ripper234/Test-grails-project

I would like to capture the latest revision, and send a link to it to someone, so that even if the project changes later he will see the specific revision I was talking about. I guess forking could do that, but it's overkill.

How do I do that?

Just press y and the URL will change automatically to reflect the current version.

To access a single file or directory:

  • While browsing directories: Click on the "latest commit <refid>" link at the top of the file list, and then "Browse code" in the blue area near the top.
  • While viewing a file: Click on "History" and then on the "<>" button next to the refid to get a link.

To show the state of the project at a specific commit:

https://github.com/<user>/<project>/tree/<commit-hash>

For example:

The easiest way without editing the URL is:

  1. Choose a commit (either the latest or from the list of commits)

  1. Select "Browse files"

let's say you would like that the someone you send this link

has to work on the resulting code of this commit.

he would do this:

  • git clone git://github.com/ripper234/Test-grails-project.git
  • cd Test-grails-project
  • git checkout c3110a562339a20eaa4c99e
  • git branch c3110a562339a20eaa4c99e

now the user has a branch with the code of the mentioned commit.

does this answer your question? -> not sure if I understood it right...

The URL format is as follows: https://github.com/USERNAME/REPO/blob/COMMITID/FILENAME

Replace the capitalised elements with details for your case
