Re: Trying to down just specific file in Azure repo to Windows and Linux.
I was able to find a solution per this thread: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2466735/how-to-sparsely-checkout-only-one-single-file-from-a-git-repository/19501643#19501643 - using the -n parameter clone the branch without downloading anything then using the "checkout" command with "HEAD", you can download a single file. git clone -n -b <branch> <path to master> --depth 1 cd <repo> git checkout HEAD <file in branch> For example: download "test.txt" file from the "scripts" branch of the repo "WebSphere" >git clone -n -b scripts https://<*.com>/_git/WebSphere--depth 1 >cd WebSphere >git checkout HEAD test.txt18KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Trying to down just specific file in Azure repo to Windows and Linux.
Scott_GrayThank you for the information. I am getting the following when I try to download and create a container .. such as a zip file: C:\Users\grsm001\git>git archive --format=zip HEAD test.txt -o test.zip fatal: not a valid object name: HEAD Doing a Git status shows: C:\Users\grsm001\git>git status On branch scripts No commits yet Untracked files: (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) test.zip nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) Can you help me with the syntax? Also, I am not versed in using GET. Is there a command I can use this with?18KViews0likes1CommentTrying to down just specific file in Azure repo to Windows and Linux.
I am new to Azure and created a text file to test with in my Azure repo. I have the command "git" on Windows to download from the Windows server and "wget" or "curl" on Linux. Could somebody give me the syntax to download my test flat file? I am having no luck. On Windows, I can clone my my repo via the following command: >git clone https://GregSmith0896@dev.azure.com/GregSmith0896/WebSphere/_git/WebSphere On Linux, again I can download the repo with : >wget clone https://GregSmith0896@dev.azure.com/GregSmith0896/WebSphere/_git/WebSphere I would like to just download a specific file in the repo which exists in the branch "scripts" and the file name is "test.txt" Please let me know. Thank you.Solved18KViews0likes3Comments
