How to Add a Specific File from Master Branch to Another Branch in GIT

When working with GIT, managing branches is a common task that can sometimes become tricky, especially when it comes to transferring specific files. If you find yourself needing to add just one file from the master branch to another branch, you may be wondering how to do it efficiently. Fortunately, this process is straightforward once you understand the steps involved. In this guide, we will guide you through the necessary commands to accomplish this task smoothly.

The Scenario

Assuming you have a project with multiple branches, including a master branch where all of your original files reside, and another branch where you want to add a specific file — there are effective GIT commands to help you transfer that file without the need for painful copy-pasting.

Step-by-Step Solution

To add the specific file you need from the master branch to your desired branch, follow these steps:

1. Checkout to Your Destination Branch

First, make sure you switch to the branch where you want to add the file. You can do this using the git checkout command. Replace <file-destination-branch> with the name of your target branch:
