您可以结合稀疏检出和浅层克隆功能。浅层克隆会切断历史记录，稀疏签出只会提取与模式匹配的文件。

git init <repo>
cd <repo>
git remote add origin <url>
git config core.sparsecheckout true
echo "finisht/*" >> .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull --depth=1 origin master

您需要最低1.9吉才能工作。仅使用2.2.0和2.2.2自行测试。

这样，您仍然可以进行推送，这在git存档中是不可能的。

degit制作git存储库的副本。当您运行degit时一些用户/一些repo，它将在https://github.com/some-user/some-repo并下载相关的tar文件到~/.degit/some user/some repo/commithash.tar.gz（如果没有）已在本地存在。（这比使用git clone快得多，因为你没有下载整个git历史记录。）

degit <https://github.com/user/repo/subdirectory> <output folder>

上面有很多好的想法和脚本。我情不自禁地将它们组合成一个bash脚本，并提供帮助和错误检查：

#!/bin/bash

function help {
  printf "$1
Clones a specific directory from the master branch of a git repository.

Syntax:
  $(basename $0) [--delrepo] repoUrl sourceDirectory [targetDirectory]

If targetDirectory is not specified it will be set to sourceDirectory.
Downloads a sourceDirectory from a Git repository into targetdirectory.
If targetDirectory is not specified, a directory named after `basename sourceDirectory`
will be created under the current directory.

If --delrepo is specified then the .git subdirectory in the clone will be removed after cloning.


Example 1:
Clone the tree/master/django/conf/app_template directory from the master branch of
git@github.com:django/django.git into ./app_template:

\$ $(basename $0) git@github.com:django/django.git django/conf/app_template

\$ ls app_template/django/conf/app_template/
__init__.py-tpl  admin.py-tpl  apps.py-tpl  migrations  models.py-tpl  tests.py-tpl  views.py-tpl


Example 2:
Clone the django/conf/app_template directory from the master branch of
https://github.com/django/django/tree/master/django/conf/app_template into ~/test:

\$ $(basename $0) git@github.com:django/django.git django/conf/app_template ~/test

\$ ls test/django/conf/app_template/
__init__.py-tpl  admin.py-tpl  apps.py-tpl  migrations  models.py-tpl  tests.py-tpl  views.py-tpl

"
  exit 1
}

if [ -z "$1" ]; then help "Error: repoUrl was not specified.\n"; fi
if [ -z "$2" ]; then help "Error: sourceDirectory was not specified."; fi

if [ "$1" == --delrepo ]; then
  DEL_REPO=true
  shift
fi

REPO_URL="$1"
SOURCE_DIRECTORY="$2"
if [ "$3" ]; then
  TARGET_DIRECTORY="$3"
else
  TARGET_DIRECTORY="$(basename $2)"
fi

echo "Cloning into $TARGET_DIRECTORY"
mkdir -p "$TARGET_DIRECTORY"
cd "$TARGET_DIRECTORY"
git init
git remote add origin -f "$REPO_URL"
git config core.sparseCheckout true

echo "$SOURCE_DIRECTORY" > .git/info/sparse-checkout
git pull --depth=1 origin master

if [ "$DEL_REPO" ]; then rm -rf .git; fi

虽然我讨厌在处理git repos时使用svn：/我一直使用这个；

function git-scp() (
  URL="$1" && shift 1
  svn export ${URL/blob\/master/trunk}
)

这允许您无需修改即可从github url中复制。用法

--- /tmp » git-scp https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/blob/master/contrib/config/kubernetes/helm                                                                                                                  1 ↵

如果您实际上只对目录的最新修订文件感兴趣，Github允许您下载一个不包含历史记录的Zip文件形式的存储库。所以下载速度要快得多。

这里有很多很棒的回复，但我想补充一点，在Windows Sever 2016上，使用目录名周围的引号对我来说是失败的。这些文件根本没有被下载。

而不是

"mydir/myfolder"

我不得不使用

mydir/myfolder

此外，如果您想简单地下载所有子目录，只需使用

git sparse-checkout set *
