Git clone repo without source files

I have a git repo on my server. There is a lot of big files there (4GB, 2GB, 1GB). I want to make a clone of this repo but only with selected file(s) without need of downloading all of theme. Also I want to be able after download one file, download other one. Ie: Repo:

first.file - 1GB
second.file - 1GB
third.file - 4GB

I want to clone only first.file. When it is needed I want to add second.file, change both files and commit and push them to repo. Ot just commit and push one file.

Is it possible with git?

With git you cannot pull selected files one after the other.

But there's a nice tool written on top of git to handle large files (binary files too) and all the requirements you have mentioned with many more features. git-annex https://git-annex.branchable.com/
