Is it possible to pull just one file in Git?

Here is a slightly easier method I just came up with when researching this:

git fetch {remote}git checkout FETCH_HEAD -- {file}

git git-merge git-pull git-fetch

You can fetch and then check out only one file in this way:

git fetchgit checkout -m <revision> <yourfilepath>git add <yourfilepath>git commit

Regarding the git checkout command:

<revision> -- a branch name, i.e. origin/master
<yourfilepath> does not include the repository name (that you can get from clicking copy path button on a file page on GitHub), i.e. README.md

git git-merge git-pull git-fetch

git checkout master -- myplugin.js

master = branch name
myplugin.js = file name
