6 git-archive - Creates a archive of the files in the named tree
11 'git-archive' --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
12 [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [path...]
16 Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
17 structure for the named tree. If <prefix> is specified it is
18 prepended to the filenames in the archive.
20 'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when
21 given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is
22 used as modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter
23 case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is
24 used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global
25 extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted
26 using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
33 Format of the resulting archive: 'tar', 'zip'...
36 Show all available formats.
39 Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive.
42 This can be any options that the archiver backend understand.
45 Instead of making a tar archive from local repository,
46 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
49 The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
52 If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
53 archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
57 By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777 in tar
58 archives. It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable
59 in the repository configuration as follows :
62 umask = 002 ;# group friendly
64 The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask
65 will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world
66 readable/writable files and directories.
70 git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
72 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
73 latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in
74 `/var/tmp/junk` directory.
76 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
78 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release.
80 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz::
82 Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a
83 global extended pax header.
85 git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ > git-1.4.0-docs.zip::
