Download specific files from github in command line, not clone the entire repo

Question

How do I download just 2 files from github using command line ?
Something in the lines of :

git fetch git://github.com/username/Project.git/file1
git fetch          


        

Answer 1

Copy the specific file's raw link from GitHub.(As you open the file in Github, on the top right corner you can see the option to open the file in raw mode. Open it in raw mode and copy the URL)

Now use curl command in command line to download the file.

curl -o filename raw-link-to-file
