To obtain a specific commit from a GitHub project, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the GitHub project's repository page.
  2. Click on the "Commits" button in the menu bar at the top of the page.
  3. Find the commit you want to obtain and click on the SHA hash code associated with it.
  4. This will take you to a page with information about the commit. From here, you can view the changes made in this commit and see any associated files.
  5. To obtain the commit, you have several options:
  • Clone the repository and checkout the specific commit using the hash code.
  • Download the specific files associated with the commit.
  • Use the GitHub API to retrieve the commit data programmatically.

Note: Depending on the project's settings, you may need permission from the repository owner to access certain commits.
