If <prefix> is specified it is +prepended to the filenames in the archive. + +'git-archive' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when +given a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is +used as modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter +case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is +used instead. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global +extended pax header if the tar format is used; it can be extracted +using 'git-get-tar-commit-id'. In ZIP files it is stored as a file +comment. + +OPTIONS +------- + +--format=<fmt>:: + Format of the resulting archive: 'tar', 'zip'... + +--list:: + Show all available formats. + +--prefix=<prefix>/:: + Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive. + +<extra>:: + This can be any options that the archiver backend understand. + +--remote=<repo>:: + Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, + retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository. + +<tree-ish>:: + The tree or commit to produce an archive for. + +path:: + If one or more paths are specified, include only these in the + archive, otherwise include all files and subdirectories. + +CONFIGURATION +------------- +By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777 in tar +archives. It is possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable +in the repository configuration as follows : + +[tar] + umask = 002 ;# group friendly + +The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask +will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world +readable/writable files and directories. + +EXAMPLES +-------- +git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -):: + + Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the + latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in + `/var/tmp/junk` directory. + +git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: + + Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release. + +git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: + + Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a + global extended pax header. + +git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ > git-1.4.0-docs.zip:: + + Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory + into 'git-1.4.0-docs.zip', with the prefix 'git-docs/'. + +Author +------ +Written by Franck Bui-Huu and Rene Scharfe. + +Documentation +-------------- +Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. + +GIT +--- +Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite |
