I have a local git repository for an Xcode project. How do I checkout (from Terminal) a specific revision of the project to a different folder?

Thanks.

You can clone a local repo into another folder:

• clone a specific branch :

   git clone -b my-branch /path/to/local/repo /path/to/new/repo 

• clone a specific tag :

   git clone -b aTag /path/to/local/repo /path/to/new/repo
