Cloning a single commit from a GIT repository
In the article on Hartwork's blog, the technique of cloning an arbitrary single commit in the Git version control system is discussed. Traditionally, cloning a Git repository involves copying the entire history of changes. However, this is not always necessary, and sometimes it can be undesirable, especially in large projects. The article presents methods that allow you to clone only a specific commit, saving time and resources. It also includes detailed instructions and examples of using this technique, making it useful for both new and experienced Git users. Finally, the author emphasizes that while this method has its limitations, it is incredibly useful in certain situations, particularly when it comes to extracting and analyzing code from earlier stages of a project.
