    You can do the following:

     git show experiment:docs/README.txt > /tmp/exported-README.txt

    … for a local branch experiment. For a branch that’s in the repository you’re referring to with the remote origin, you can do the following, similarly:

     git fetch origin
 git show origin/other-experiment:docs/README.txt > /tmp/exported-README-remote.txt
