`Git: How to update/checkout a single file from remote origin master?

Question

The scenario:I make some changes in a single file locally and run git add, git commit and git pushThe file is pushed to the remote origin master repositoryI have another local repository that is deployed via Capistrano with the "remote_cache" method from that remote repositoryNow I don't want to deploy the whole application but just update/checkout that single file.Please, is this somehow possible with git? I wasn't able to find anything that would work nor was I able to figure it out. With SVN I just did svn up file and voila. How git checkout single file? I'll be glad for any help, thanks!

It can be done in the deployed repository:

    $ git fetch

The git fetch command will download all the recent changes, but it will not put it in your current checked out code (working area).

    $ git checkout origin/master -- path/to/file

Then the checkout command will update the working tree with the particular file from the downloaded changes (origin/master).

The completion level of the levels in space waves will show % and you should pay attention to how many % you are about to complete a level.
