Git clone tag-Download a specific tag with Git
I'm trying to figure out how I can download a particular tag of a Git repository - it's one version behind the current version.
I saw there was a tag for the previous version on the git web page, with the object name of something long hex number.
But the version name is "Tagged release 1.1.5" according to the site.
I tried a command like this (with names changed):
git clone http//git.abc.net/git/abc.git my_abc
And I did get something - a directory, a bunch of subdirectories, etc.
If it's the whole repository, how do I get at the version I'm seeking? If not, how do I download that particular version? How to download git clone tag?
: For downloading a specific git clone tag follow these commands
git clone
It will help you to have the whole repository. After this, you can list the tags using
git tag -l
create a new branch that will be helpful and checkout the tags using
git checkout tags/ -b
You can also check out tag using
git checkout tags/
But you will be on a branch named after the revision number of the tag.
