It is necessary to add to the existing project some differences from the repository on GitNub.
I run the git diff origin/master master and get an insanely long tape of differences.
Question: how to add changes only to some files?

    If only some changes are needed, then you need to either suffer with the merge, or make the old fashioned way. First do git diff and save yourself a conclusion. Then open in the editor and "correct". And then use the git patch to apply the resulting diff. - KoVadim

    not necessary. Do not invent. And better read the basic things in the gita. And yes, forget everything you knew about svn / cvs - KoVadim

For the diff command, you can specify "scope": after all options and parameters, list an arbitrary number of files / directories.

In order to “facilitate” the work of the git program and clearly separate the options / parameters from the file / directory list, it is better to insert a special option in front of the list.

eg:

 $ git diff опции-и-параметры -- файл1 каталог1 каталог2/файл2 ...
