I have a Git repository that includes subdirectories. Example dirA/dirB.
Is there a way to do a git clone on a Unix server to pull only files from a subdirectory (dirB)?
Is there some other Git command other than clone that will do this?
How do I Git a specific file?
If you want to clone only parts of your repository, you should look at git submodules.
The subdirectory is managed by a specific git repository and is referenced in the main repository as a submodule.
When you clone the main repository, the submodules are not automatically cloned.
