How to checkout the contents of a directory in git?

Question

I have a repo with a 'htdocs` directory in its root, is it possible to checkout only the contents of this folder? I tried running:

git checkout -f master -- htdocs

Which does ignore everything else in the repo root but it also brings in the htdocs folder. I could copy the contents and remove the directory with a couple additional commands but I was wondering if it was possible with through git only.

您可以在外部文件夹中检出，并在/ htdocs和该文件夹之间建立符号链接。
