How can I copy files from a branch to another using git?

I have a git repository with two branches: master and gh-pages. If I want to copy a file foo from master to gh-pages without merging them. What command should I use? Many thanks.

Also may do cherry-pick from master to gh-pages after commit foo.(After cherry-pick must execute git add [path to foo] and commit)

If you want to compare all the diffs between 2 branches: you can use git difftool master gh-pages or git difftool <SHA1 of gh-pages> .

If you want to get diff for specific list of files follow this:

git diff master gh-pages -- path/to/file

You can:

git checkout gh-pages
git checkout master foo
git commit -m 'Add file foo to gh-pages.'

The Way I would do it: When you commit you have a choice of what to commit and push. So commit only foo from master then push it, Then just merge that on github/bitbucket whatever to gh-pages
