Extract a particular version file from Git repository

Is it possible to pull out a specific version of a file from a Git repository to an external folder location?

I have a few excel (binary) files in y Git repo. I want to pull out specific version of that file to an external folder without having to do a git checkout, so that my current working directory is not disturbed.

System information:
Windows 8, 64 bit.
msysgit 1.9.4

Solution

There is an useful tool on git. It can be use by show command. See all of the options of show by giving command -

git show

If you want to see the particular version of a file just use the following format -

git show commit:filename

Now export to a file by --

git show commit:filename > newfilename
