git copy particular version of repository

Question

I\'m new to git so forgive me if this is a dumb question. I have a git repository and I need to copy a particular revision of the repository to its own separate directory. T

Answer 1

 git archive master >specificversion.tar

replace master by a commit identifier

If you want to immediately 'check it out', consider

 git archive master | (cd /tmp/exportlocation && tar x)

git archive (as usual) comes with a load of other useful options
