GIT SPARSE-CHECKOUT

  1. cd <YOUR_REPO>
  2. git sparse-checkout init
  3. git sparse-checkout set <PATTERN>, where is pattern like gitignore-pattern
  4. Then git will create file at path YOUR_REPO/.git/info/sparse-checkout
  5. Your might edit this file with git sparse-checkout set or IDE, or via cli - echo !program.ts' > .git/info/sparse-checkout
  6. The logic of sparse-checkout file is the opposite of .gitignore - in sparse-checkout you should set folders that will be ENABLED (in other hand in .gitignore you should set folders that will be DISABLED)
  7. sparse-checkout will be apply ONLY for local repo (in other hand .gitignore will be apply to remote repo)

EXAMPLE

# enable all files but not program.ts
/*
!.program.ts
