NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-archive - Create an archive of files from a named tree |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git archive' [--format=<fmt>] [--list] [--prefix=<prefix>/] [<extra>] |
|
[-o <file> | --output=<file>] [--worktree-attributes] |
|
[--remote=<repo> [--exec=<git-upload-archive>]] <tree-ish> |
|
[<path>...] |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree |
|
structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard |
|
output. 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 the 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' or 'zip'. If this option |
|
is not given, and the output file is specified, the format is |
|
inferred from the filename if possible (e.g. writing to "foo.zip" |
|
makes the output to be in the zip format). Otherwise the output |
|
format is `tar`. |
|
|
|
-l:: |
|
--list:: |
|
Show all available formats. |
|
|
|
-v:: |
|
--verbose:: |
|
Report progress to stderr. |
|
|
|
--prefix=<prefix>/:: |
|
Prepend <prefix>/ to each filename in the archive. |
|
|
|
-o <file>:: |
|
--output=<file>:: |
|
Write the archive to <file> instead of stdout. |
|
|
|
--worktree-attributes:: |
|
Look for attributes in .gitattributes files in the working tree |
|
as well (see <<ATTRIBUTES>>). |
|
|
|
<extra>:: |
|
This can be any options that the archiver backend understands. |
|
See next section. |
|
|
|
--remote=<repo>:: |
|
Instead of making a tar archive from the local repository, |
|
retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository. |
|
|
|
--exec=<git-upload-archive>:: |
|
Used with --remote to specify the path to the |
|
'git-upload-archive' on the remote side. |
|
|
|
<tree-ish>:: |
|
The tree or commit to produce an archive for. |
|
|
|
<path>:: |
|
Without an optional path parameter, all files and subdirectories |
|
of the current working directory are included in the archive. |
|
If one or more paths are specified, only these are included. |
|
|
|
BACKEND EXTRA OPTIONS |
|
--------------------- |
|
|
|
zip |
|
~~~ |
|
-0:: |
|
Store the files instead of deflating them. |
|
-9:: |
|
Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any |
|
number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio. |
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION |
|
------------- |
|
|
|
tar.umask:: |
|
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of |
|
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the |
|
world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the |
|
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for |
|
details. If `--remote` is used then only the configuration of |
|
the remote repository takes effect. |
|
|
|
tar.<format>.command:: |
|
This variable specifies a shell command through which the tar |
|
output generated by `git archive` should be piped. The command |
|
is executed using the shell with the generated tar file on its |
|
standard input, and should produce the final output on its |
|
standard output. Any compression-level options will be passed |
|
to the command (e.g., "-9"). An output file with the same |
|
extension as `<format>` will be use this format if no other |
|
format is given. |
|
+ |
|
The "tar.gz" and "tgz" formats are defined automatically and default to |
|
`gzip -cn`. You may override them with custom commands. |
|
|
|
tar.<format>.remote:: |
|
If true, enable `<format>` for use by remote clients via |
|
linkgit:git-upload-archive[1]. Defaults to false for |
|
user-defined formats, but true for the "tar.gz" and "tgz" |
|
formats. |
|
|
|
[[ATTRIBUTES]] |
|
ATTRIBUTES |
|
---------- |
|
|
|
export-ignore:: |
|
Files and directories with the attribute export-ignore won't be |
|
added to archive files. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details. |
|
|
|
export-subst:: |
|
If the attribute export-subst is set for a file then Git will |
|
expand several placeholders when adding this file to an archive. |
|
See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details. |
|
|
|
Note that attributes are by default taken from the `.gitattributes` files |
|
in the tree that is being archived. If you want to tweak the way the |
|
output is generated after the fact (e.g. you committed without adding an |
|
appropriate export-ignore in its `.gitattributes`), adjust the checked out |
|
`.gitattributes` file as necessary and use `--worktree-attributes` |
|
option. Alternatively you can keep necessary attributes that should apply |
|
while archiving any tree in your `$GIT_DIR/info/attributes` file. |
|

|
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 extract it in the |
|
`/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.gz --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.tar.gz`:: |
|
|
|
Same as above, but using the builtin tar.gz handling. |
|
|
|
`git archive --prefix=git-1.4.0/ -o git-1.4.0.tar.gz v1.4.0`:: |
|
|
|
Same as above, but the format is inferred from the output file. |
|
|
|
`git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0^{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`:: |
|
|
|

|
|
|
`git archive -o latest.zip HEAD`:: |
|
|
|
Create a Zip archive that contains the contents of the latest |

|
|
|
`git config tar.tar.xz.command "xz -c"`:: |
|
|
|
Configure a "tar.xz" format for making LZMA-compressed tarfiles. |
|
