Is it possible to pull just one file in Git?

Question

I am working on a Git branch that has some broken tests, and I would like to pull (merge changes, not just overwrite) these tests from another branch where they are already

Answer 1

You can fetch and then check out only one file in this way:

git fetch
git checkout -m  
git add 
git commit

Regarding the git checkout command: - a branch name, i.e. origin/master does not include the repository name (that you can get from clicking copy path button on a file page on GitHub), i.e. README.md
