How can I copy files from a branch to another using git?
I have a git repository with two branches: master and gh-pages. If I want to copy a file foo from master to gh-pages without merging them. What command should I use? Many thanks.
Solution 1:
You can:
git checkout gh-pages
git checkout master foo
git commit -m 'Add file foo to gh-pages.'
Solution 2:
If you want to compare all the diffs between 2 branches: you can use git difftool master gh-pages or git difftool <SHA1 of gh-pages> .
If you want to get diff for specific list of files follow this:
git diff master gh-pages -- path/to/file
