It is also possible to create archives of other items than HEAD
, such as branches, commits, tags, and directories.
To create an archive of a local branch dev
:
git archive --output=archive-dev.zip --prefix=src-directory-name dev
To create an archive of a remote branch origin/dev
:
git archive --output=archive-dev.zip --prefix=src-directory-name origin/dev
To create an archive of a tag v.01
:
git archive --output=archive-v.01.zip --prefix=src-directory-name v.01
Create an archive of files inside a specific sub directory (sub-dir
) of revision HEAD
:
git archive zip --output=archive-sub-dir.zip --prefix=src-directory-name HEAD:sub-dir/
