Filter Out Branch in Git when Cloning

Question

I have a large repository that I am trying to clone, but there seems to be a few PSD files that have been added that I can't avoid at the current moment. I have a specific path on the repository that I want to checkout but I'm having trouble figuring out what specific command I need to follow.

I was told filter-branch is what I need to leverage but I'm unsure how to use it.

Thoughts?

Answer 1

Here is the man page to git-filter-branch. If you don't need the checkins after those PSD files were pushed, it might be easier to git-checkout the version right before.
