6 git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree
12 'git archive' [--format=<fmt>] [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
13 [--output=<file>] [--worktree-attributes]
14 [--remote=<repo> [--exec=<git-upload-archive>]] <tree-ish>
19 Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
20 structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard
21 output. If <prefix> is specified it is
22 prepended to the filenames in the archive.
24 'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
25 given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is
26 used as the modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter
27 case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is
28 used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global
29 extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
30 using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
37 Format of the resulting archive: 'tar' or 'zip'. The default
42 Show all available formats.
46 Report progress to stderr.
49 Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive.
52 Write the archive to <file> instead of stdout.
54 --worktree-attributes::
55 Look for attributes in .gitattributes in working directory too.
58 This can be any options that the archiver backend understands.
62 Instead of making a tar archive from the local repository,
63 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
65 --exec=<git-upload-archive>::
66 Used with --remote to specify the path to the
67 'git-upload-archive' on the remote side.
70 The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
73 If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
74 archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
82 Store the files instead of deflating them.
84 Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
85 number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
92 This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
93 tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
94 world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
95 archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for
102 Files and directories with the attribute export-ignore won't be
103 added to archive files. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
106 If the attribute export-subst is set for a file then git will
107 expand several placeholders when adding this file to an archive.
108 See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
112 git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
114 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
115 latest commit on the current branch, and extract it in the
116 `/var/tmp/junk` directory.
118 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
120 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release.
122 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
124 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a
125 global extended pax header.
127 git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ > git-1.4.0-docs.zip::
129 Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory
130 into 'git-1.4.0-docs.zip', with the prefix 'git-docs/'.
