github command to get only changes from a branch

by Ahsan Muzaheed · in Torque 3D Professional · 04/10/2013 (4:34 am) · 8 replies

is there any github command to get only the changes without re-downloading whole t3d from this:
https://github.com/ChrisCalef/Torque3D - branch fbx
(github.com/ChrisCalef/Torque3D - branch fbx)

or
anyway to have a patch for t3d 2.0 ?


because of my unstable net connection i always fail to checkout branches from:
https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D/branches

    I have the graphical client, that syncronises automatically and if not you can press the "sync" button.
    Oh, did not understand what you mean, but maybe you could trick the system by copying over the files that are identical from the other directory.

    I could download it for you. I would just need a area to put it so you can get it. Well let me know you have my email address.

    Did you add Chris's repo as a new remote in your own repo? I think that if you do than then do a `git fetch <chris's repo>` it should just download the commits that are different.

    i thought about that but problem is i do not have a stable enough net connection to download from github.so never was able to download my one.
    last time it was completed 60% before my connection disconnected.
    7 hours gone in vain.
    not a single file was downloaded.

    The way I do this is as follows:

    git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/user/repo.git

git fetch upstream

git merge upstream/branch local-branch

git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/GarageGames/Torque3D.git

    Then commit all changes, and there you go.

    See? Rob is way nicer than I am - I always just link the github help for syncing to upstream repos....

    Hmm, I don't believe there's any way to get Chris's changes if you haven't yet got a complete copy of the repository. How do you work with the engine if you can't get it from Github?
