Question

I create an empty new repository locally, I add a remote repository. Now I want to get a specific commit from the remote repository without downloading the whole remote repository with all its branches!

How do I do that?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Answer is 

git fetch origin 96de5297df870:refs/remotes/origin/D-commit

See Retrieve specific commit from a remote Git repository
