Run this from the branch where you want the file to end up:
git checkout otherbranch myfile.txt
General formulas:
git checkout <commit_hash> <relative_path_to_file_or_dir> git checkout <remote_name>/<branch_name> <file_or_dir>
Some notes (from comments):
- Using the commit hash, you can pull files from any commit
- This works for files and directories
- Overwrites the file
myfile.txt
andmydir
- Wildcards don’t work, but relative paths do
- Multiple paths can be specified
An alternative:
git show commit_id:path/to/file > path/to/file
