git archive

Create an archive of files from a named tree.

• Create a tar archive from the contents of the current HEAD and print it to standard output:

git archive --verbose HEAD

• Create a zip archive from the current HEAD and print it to standard output:

git archive --verbose --format=zip HEAD

• Same as above, but write the zip archive to file:

git archive --verbose --output={path/to/file.zip} HEAD

• Create a tar archive from the contents of the latest commit on a specific branch:

git archive --output={path/to/file.tar} {branch_name}

• Create a tar archive from the contents of a specific directory:

git archive --output={path/to/file.tar} HEAD:{path/to/directory}

• Prepend a path to each file to archive it inside a specific directory:

git archive --output={path/to/file.tar} --prefix={path/to/prepend}/ HEAD
