2.Select Browse code on the right side of each commit

3.Click on download zip , which will download source code at that point of time of commit

Answer 2

To just download a commit using the 7-digit SHA1 short form do:

Working Example:

https://github.com/python/cpython/archive/31af650.zip  

Description:

 `https://github.com/username/projectname/archive/commitshakey.zip`

If you have the long hash key 31af650ee25f65794b75d4dfefed6fe4758781c1, just get the first 7 chars 31af650. It's the default for GitHub.

Answer 3

If you want to go with any certain commit or want to code of any certain commit then you can use below command:

git checkout <BRANCH_NAME>
git reset --hard  <commit ID which code you want>
git push --force

Example:

 git reset --hard fbee9dd 
 git push --force

Answer 4

The easiest way that I found to recover a lost commit (that only exists on github and not locally) is to create a new branch that includes this commit.

1. Have the commit open (url like: github.com/org/repo/commit/long-commit-sha)
2. Click "Browse Files" on the top right
3. Click the dropdown "Tree: short-sha..." on the top left
4. Type in a new branch name
5. git pull the new branch down to local

Answer 5

The question title is ambiguous.

• If you need to get a commit, just use this URL: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/commit/91f256424531030a454548693c3a6ca49ca3f35a.patch (like explain here for the question How to download a single commit-diff from GitHub?)
• if you need to download the entire project at the commit you need, use this URL: https://github.com/facebook/facebook-ios-sdk/archive/91f256424531030a454548693c3a6ca49ca3f35a.zip
• if you need the git revision log, clone the repository and checkout the commit you want.

Try the following command sequence:

$ git fetch origin <copy/past commit sha1 here>
$ git checkout FETCH_HEAD
$ git push origin master
