How to get certain commit from GitHub project

Question

I need to download the Facebook API from GitHub. Normally, I just click on the \'Downloads\" tab to download the latest source code. In this case, I need an older commit: 91

Answer 1

write this to see your commits

git log --oneline

copy the name of the commit you want to go back to. then write:

git checkout "name of the commit"

when you do this, the files of that commit will be replaced with your current files. then you can do whatever you want to these and once you're done, you can write the following command to extract the current files into another newly created branch so whatever you make doesn't have any danger for the previous branch that you extracted a commit from

git checkout -b "name of a branch to extract the files to"

right now, you have the content of a specified commit, into another branch .
