Checkout specific file (Question)

[focusonesoftware]

Hi,

Can I checkout specific file like "git checkout /remote/origin/master filename"?

Looking at the source for the CheckoutOptions struct, I don't see a way to indicate that you want to checkout a specific file. I'd be interested in looking into this and determining if I can work on adding this. It would be nice if someone else had replied by now to say for sure.

@mcuadros Can you instead of closing this tag it as a feature request? When I looked at the CheckoutOptions struct, I was pretty sure this feature isn't available, and I think it would be a likely common need. Marking at as closed because it's a question seems unfortunate for an obvious missing feature.

If this is marked as a feature request, I think I will be able to get the time to work on it in the next two months. Most repos require PRs to have matching open issues, so I figure reopening would be necessary first.
