pachctl get file #
Return the contents of a file.
Synopsis #
This command returns the contents of a file. While using this command, take special note of how you can use ancestry syntax (e.g., appending^2 or .-1 to repo@branch) to retrieve the contents of a file from a previous commit.
To specify the project where the repo is located, use the –project flag To specify the output path, use the –output flag To specify the number of bytes to offset the read by, use the –offset-bytes flag To retry the operation if it fails, use the –retry flag
pachctl get file <repo>@<branch-or-commit>:<path/in/pfs> [flags]
