| 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the racks | |
| Not a server was alerting, not even Compaqs. | |
| The backups were written to tapes with care | |
| In hopes that later the data would be there. | |
| The machines were nestled all snug in their sleds | |
| Whilst visions of vengeance danced in their heads; | |
| And oncall in his three-wolf and I in my rack. | |
| Had just settled down for some syn and some ack. |
TL;DR skip to the summary for the bash one-liner if so inclined :-)
I have an old tumblr that I want to back up. I don't use it regularly, but I want to have a backup of the whole site, design as well as content, just in case; it's not just the pictures I love, but the whole thing. I'm not particularly worried about downloading the streaming audio--can't help you there, gentle reader.
These steps show two less common interactions with git to extract a single file which is inside a subfolder from a git repository. These steps essentially reduce the repository to just the desired files and should performed on a copy of the original repository (1.).
First the repository is reduced to just the subfolder containing the files in question using git filter-branch --subdirectory-filter (2.) which is a useful step by itself if just a subfolder needs to be extracted. This step moves the desired files to the top level of the repository.
Finally all remaining files are listed using git ls, the files to keep are removed from that using grep -v and the resulting list is passed to git rm which is invoked by git filter-branch --index-filter (3.). A bit convoluted but it does the trick.
