I have a folder like xampp/htdocs/test. Actually I need all files from specified branch(for eg:branch1) of git to this 'test' folder. I am using git clone command. But after that I got some files.

  • Note that many web hosting sites (e.g., GitHub) offer ways to download one particular commit, or even files from within one particular commit, and Git has `git archive` to do this same sort of thing. – torek Jun 17 '21 at 15:54

  1. Clone the master branch. As you said that you already used git clone <repository>

  2. Go inside the directory root by cd <repository>

  3. Execute the git checkout command git checkout <branch name you want to see the files>

    This does accomplish the stated goal, but in large repositories it may mean downloading many more files than are needed. – isherwood Jun 17 '21 at 15:39
