git, trying to pull a specific commit from remote, not the most recent one

Question

How can I pull a specific commit, or rather pull the repo the way it was after a specific commit? I don't have any branches. I'm just running master, and I am the only one using this repo.

Answer 1

You can pull an then checkout the commit you want to see:

git pull && git co <commit>

or you can pull and then reset HEAD to a different commit:

git pull && git reset --hard <commit>

I do not think there is a way to pull only a specific commit since it is easy it git to switch to another commit if needed.
