Is it possible to download files and directories from repository without creating a workspace?

[Wodzu]

Hi,

 

Basically the topic says all. Has anything changed since 2012?

 

http://www.plasticscm.net/index.php?/topic/905-get-files-from-a-specific-branchlabel-without-a-workspace/

 

I just would like to obtain plain files and directories, without tracking them by Plastic.

 

Best regards.

Hi,

 

not directly but doable.

 

First query the directories: 

 

cm cat serverpath:/#lb:5.4.16.773@rep:codice@repserver:diana:9095

 

Then get the files

 

cm cat serverpath:/readme.txt#lb:5.4.16.773@rep:codice@repserver:diana:9095  --file=readme.txt.txt

 

But I think it's much easier to create a workspace. Now we have gluon and the partial workspaces features so you don't need to download everything, you choose what to download. I would use that instead.

 

Check:

cm partial --help
cm partial configure --help
cm partial update --help
