title: Git - Merge branch with other branch - specific files only (multiple files)
body: <p>In <code>git</code>, can we checkout and merge <em>specific files only; by filtering them</em>? (From one branch to another branch)</p>
  
  <p>If I have two branches:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   BranchMergeInto
     BranchMergeFrom
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am aware that you can do the following to add singular files into a different branch.</p>
  
  <pre><code>   git checkout BranchMergeInto
     git checkout BranchMergeFrom -- FileToInsertIntoOtherBranch.file
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>I want to <strong>filter</strong> the files I want to add into the <em>destination branch</em>.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>For instance <em>(doesn't work)</em> I would like to do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>   git checkout BranchMergeInto
     git checkout BranchMergeFrom -- *.file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This however does not nothing..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
