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