6 git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree
12 'git archive' --format=<fmt> [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>]
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.
55 This can be any options that the archiver backend understands.
59 Instead of making a tar archive from the local repository,
60 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
62 --exec=<git-upload-archive>::
63 Used with --remote to specify the path to the
64 'git-upload-archive' on the remote side.
67 The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
70 If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the
71 archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories.
79 Store the files instead of deflating them.
81 Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
82 number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
89 This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
90 tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
91 world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
92 archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for
99 Files and directories with the attribute export-ignore won't be
100 added to archive files. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
103 If the attribute export-subst is set for a file then git will
104 expand several placeholders when adding this file to an archive.
105 See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
109 git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)::
