How to copy a specific file or directory from another branch

[dwicks]

In git, I can use `git checkout branchname -- path/to/file.uasset` to pull a version of a file from another branch into my working branch. I have not found an equivalent command in plastic, and have resorted to `cm switch branchname`, copy + paste file to desktop, `cm switch workingbranch`, copy and paste file from desktop to replace contents. Since that workaround is very painful (especially if there are lots of other files that have changed between branches and need download), I'd love to be pointed in the right direction for a simple Plastic command to switch the version of a single file (or directory) to match what is seen on a different branch. The changes don't necessarily match up with a single changeset that could be cherry-picked, so that's sadly not an option.

 

Thanks!

Hi,

You can use the PlasticSCM interface to see the history of a file and revert to a desired previous revision:
