How to clone not all files from a Git repository?

Question

git

Hello. There is a repository on BitBucket that stores all site template files, as well as SASS and GRUNT files. It also has folders in which .js and .css files are compiled. I need to get only these folders, excluding other files. How to set it up?

Answer 1

it was necessary to set up .gitignore right away and not commit the compiled files to git
, now you can fix it and then do git rm -rf --cached build (or wherever they are) and commit this thing.

Answer 2

The obvious solution:
Clone everything, and then copy only the files you need to the right place.
