Merge changes from clearcase label to git branch

Question

We are using clearcase and git for version control.
I have a situation where my fellow colleague has released few changes in a developer label in clear case. Now i want to pull those particular changes to git branch.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Answer 1

Yes, make a snapshot view with a config spec selecting that label.

Then from your separate git working tree folder, do

git --work-tree=path/to/snapshot/view add .

# or, to limit files added:
git --work-tree=path/to/snapshot/view add -- afile
git --work-tree=path/to/snapshot/view add -- a folder

That will instruct git to add files modifications from your snapshot view.
