从 Git 仓库中克隆特定文件夹

Clone a Specific Folder from a Git Repository

You can use sparse checkout in Git to download only a specific folder from a repository. Here's how:

Steps

1. Create a Folder and Navigate to It:

   mkdir <folder-name>
   cd <folder-name>

2. Initialize Git:

   git init

3. Add the Repository URL:

   git remote add origin <repo-url>

4. Enable Sparse Checkout:

   git sparse-checkout init

5. Select the Folder to Clone:

   git sparse-checkout set <folder-path>

   Replace <folder-path> with the folder you want (e.g., docs).

6. Download the Folder:

   git pull origin <branch>

   Replace <branch> with the branch name (e.g., main).

Example

To download only the docs folder:

mkdir my-repo
cd my-repo
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/example/repo.git
git sparse-checkout init
git sparse-checkout set docs
git pull origin main

Key Points

• Git Version: Sparse checkout requires Git 2.25 or later.
• Multiple Folders: Add multiple folders by separating them with spaces:

git sparse-checkout set folder1 folder2

• Disable Sparse Checkout: If you want to clone the whole repo later:

git sparse-checkout disable

This method saves time and space by downloading only the files you need!
