Question

https://github.com/Colt/YelpCamp/tree/36c5c12fc8b21699d7e129d661c80b3e795da801

How can I clone this particular commit into my local machine?

Answer 1

You can access individual commits on GitHub with the URL https://github.com/${owner}/${repo}/commit/${sha}.patch

ie, in this case, the commit is available in raw form at: https://github.com/Colt/YelpCamp/commit/36c5c12fc8b21699d7e129d661c80b3e795da801.patch

You could use any tool like cURL or wget to fetch it, or even broese to that URL with your browser and save the file.
