下面是我为单个子目录稀疏签出用例编写的shell脚本

co子目录.sh

localRepo=$1
remoteRepo=$2
subDir=$3


# Create local repository for subdirectory checkout, make it hidden to avoid having to drill down to the subfolder
mkdir ./.$localRepo
cd ./.$localRepo
git init
git remote add -f origin $remoteRepo
git config core.sparseCheckout true

# Add the subdirectory of interest to the sparse checkout.
echo $subDir >> .git/info/sparse-checkout

git pull origin master

# Create convenience symlink to the subdirectory of interest
cd ..
ln -s ./.$localRepo/$subDir $localRepo

（扩展此答案）

克隆特定标记中的子目录

如果要克隆特定标记的特定子目录，可以执行以下步骤。

我在cxf-3.5.4标签中克隆了cxf github repo的发行版/src/main/release/samples/子目录。

注意：如果您尝试仅克隆上述回购，您将看到它非常大。下面的命令仅克隆所需的内容。

git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/apache/cxf
cd cxf/
git sparse-checkout set distribution/src/main/release/samples/
git fetch --depth 1 origin cxf-3.5.4
# This is the hash on which the tag points, however using the tag does not work.
git switch --detach 3ef4fde

克隆特定分支中的子目录

我在2.6.x-fixes分支中克隆了cxf github repo的发行版/src/main/release/samples/子目录。

git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/apache/cxf --branch 2.6.x-fixes
cd cxf/
git sparse-checkout set distribution/src/main/release/samples/

上面有很多好的想法和脚本。我情不自禁地将它们组合成一个bash脚本，并提供帮助和错误检查：

#!/bin/bash

function help {
  printf "$1
Clones a specific directory from the master branch of a git repository.

Syntax:
  $(basename $0) [--delrepo] repoUrl sourceDirectory [targetDirectory]

If targetDirectory is not specified it will be set to sourceDirectory.
Downloads a sourceDirectory from a Git repository into targetdirectory.
If targetDirectory is not specified, a directory named after `basename sourceDirectory`
will be created under the current directory.

If --delrepo is specified then the .git subdirectory in the clone will be removed after cloning.


Example 1:
Clone the tree/master/django/conf/app_template directory from the master branch of
git@github.com:django/django.git into ./app_template:

\$ $(basename $0) git@github.com:django/django.git django/conf/app_template

\$ ls app_template/django/conf/app_template/
__init__.py-tpl  admin.py-tpl  apps.py-tpl  migrations  models.py-tpl  tests.py-tpl  views.py-tpl


Example 2:
Clone the django/conf/app_template directory from the master branch of
https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/conf/app_template into ~/test:

\$ $(basename $0) git@github.com:django/django.git django/conf/app_template ~/test

\$ ls test/django/conf/app_template/
__init__.py-tpl  admin.py-tpl  apps.py-tpl  migrations  models.py-tpl  tests.py-tpl  views.py-tpl

"
  exit 1
}

if [ -z "$1" ]; then help "Error: repoUrl was not specified.\n"; fi
if [ -z "$2" ]; then help "Error: sourceDirectory was not specified."; fi

if [ "$1" == --delrepo ]; then
  DEL_REPO=true
  shift
fi

REPO_URL="$1"
SOURCE_DIRECTORY="$2"
if [ "$3" ]; then
  TARGET_DIRECTORY="$3"
else
  TARGET_DIRECTORY="$(basename $2)"
fi

echo "Cloning into $TARGET_DIRECTORY"
mkdir -p "$TARGET_DIRECTORY"
cd "$TARGET_DIRECTORY"
git init
git remote add origin -f "$REPO_URL"
git config core.sparseCheckout true

echo "$SOURCE_DIRECTORY" > .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull --depth=1 origin master

if [ "$DEL_REPO" ]; then rm -rf .git; fi

您可以结合稀疏检出和浅层克隆功能。浅层克隆会切断历史记录，稀疏签出只会提取与模式匹配的文件。

git init <repo>
cd <repo>
git remote add origin <url>
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo "finisht/*" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull --depth=1 origin master

您需要最低1.9吉才能工作。仅使用2.2.0和2.2.2自行测试。

这样，您仍然可以进行推送，这在git存档中是不可能的。

我写了一个从GitHub下载子目录的脚本。

用法：

python get_git_sub_dir.py path/to/sub/dir <RECURSIVE>

使用Linux？并且只想要容易访问和清理工作树？而不必麻烦机器上的其他代码。尝试符号链接！

git clone https://github.com:{user}/{repo}.git ~/my-project
ln -s ~/my-project/my-subfolder ~/Desktop/my-subfolder

测验

cd ~/Desktop/my-subfolder
git status
