I'm working on a feature branch (say - new_feature_branch). I have already changed a set of file and all my changes are commit and then push to a remote git repo (say origin/new_feature_branch). But now I want only a specific file (say specific_file) of new_feature_branch revert back to (origin/master). How can I do this? I've tried -

git checkout origin/master specific_file name

But it doesn't work for me.

Checkout `origin/master`, copy the file's contents into a text editor, checkout your branch, and paste them back in? – ceejayoz Jan 02 '17 at 16:38

Try `git checkout origin/master -- specific_file_name`. Perhaps the command is being misinterpreted, and the `--' will clarify the intent. This command should work fine though. – John Szakmeister Jan 02 '17 at 16:44

If your commits are tidy, you can use git cherry-pick – Leonardo Bezerra Jan 18 '22 at 19:49
