6 git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree
12 'git-archive' --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
13 [--remote=<repo> [--exec=<git-upload-archive>]] <tree-ish>
18 Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
19 structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard
20 output. If <prefix> is specified it is
21 prepended to the filenames in the archive.
23 'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
24 given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is
25 used as modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter
26 case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is
27 used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global
28 extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
29 using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
36 Format of the resulting archive: 'tar' or 'zip'. The default
40 Show all available formats.
43 Report progress to stderr.
46 Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive.
49 This can be any options that the archiver backend understand.
53 Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
54 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
56 --exec=<git-upload-archive>::
57 Used with --remote to specify the path to the
58 git-upload-archive executable on the remote side.
61 The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
64 If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
65 archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
73 Store the files instead of deflating them.
75 Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
76 number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
83 This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
84 tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
85 world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
86 archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for
91 git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
93 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
94 latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in
95 `/var/tmp/junk` directory.
97 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
99 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release.
101 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
103 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a
104 global extended pax header.
106 git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ > git-1.4.0-docs.zip::
108 Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory
109 into 'git-1.4.0-docs.zip', with the prefix 'git-docs/'.
