Checkout Single File from Another Branch

Scenario

You are working on the main branch and need to update config.json with changes that currently exist only on the feature-settings branch, without switching your current context.

Task

Navigate to /home/interview/repo and retrieve the config.json file from the feature-settings branch into your current working directory.

Example

# Before (Old config on main)
$ cat config.json
{ "version": "1.0.0" }

# After (New config retrieved)
$ cat config.json
{ "version": "2.0.0" }
