How to clone single branch?

How to clone only latest commit from a given branch?
git clone <url> --depth=1 --branch <branch_name> --single-branch <folder_name>
How to shallow clone a specific commit with depth 1?
As @sschuberth commented out: --depth implies --single-branch.
Instead of clone use the fetch command:
# fetch a commit (or branch or tag) of interest
# In this case you will have the full history of this commit
git fetch origin <sha1>
