I have an Amazon EC2 machine. I would like to clone an older version of github repo on this machine. Normally I use git clone https://linktomyrepo.git How can I clone an older version, say an update from 14 days ago? I can see the exact version I need in the commit history of repository, but do not know how to clone it onto the EC2 machine. Do I need to use the little SHA code next to each commit?
You can always check out any given state by using a commit hash.
For instance, by looking at the log, you identified that 233ab4ef was the state you were interested in: issue a
git checkout 233ab4efto check out that state.Another way to achieve this is by using
git checkout @{14.days.ago}
