How to checkout specific directories from git in Bamboo?

[Thomas Hartwig]

Hi, I have created a checkout task from a git repo. This is working fine, however instead of checkout the whole repo I would like to checkout only specific subdirectories and run tests on these. How is this possible?

Not supported out of the box by Bamboo, you would have to create custom scripts

Hi Mark, thanks for the clear and fast answer. Is this by special purpose or just a lacking feature, is it possible to create a feature request on this?

PS: We have a huge company repo. I know of many controversial discussions having one or multiple git repos. For this reason I am convinced it would be beneficial for Bamboo to be able to checkout subdirs only.
