git - get remote file content

Is there a way in git to get the content of a specific file on the remote repo?

I would like, using gulp, to get the remote package.json version and manipulate the local package.json to match.

The goal is to prevent re-occuring git conflicts on the package.json version field.

If you have fetched data from remote (all you need is to git fetch, it will not touch your current working tree) you can then use:

git show <ref>:<path>

So in your example you can view content of the file via

git show origin/master:package.json
