    1. cd into the top of your repo copy
    2. git fetch
    3. git checkout HEAD path/to/your/dir/or/file

      • Where “path/...” in (3) starts at the directory just below the repo root containing your “.../file“

      • NOTE that instead of “HEAD”, the hash code of a specific commit may be used, and then you will get the revision (file) or revisions (dir) specific to that commit.
