 <h1>
 git-archive(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-archive -
  Create an archive of files from a named tree
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="verseblock">
 <div class="content"><em>git archive</em> [--format=&lt;fmt&gt;] [--list] [--prefix=&lt;prefix&gt;/] [&lt;extra&gt;]
  [-o | --output=&lt;file&gt;] [--worktree-attributes]
  [--remote=&lt;repo&gt; [--exec=&lt;git-upload-archive&gt;]] &lt;tree-ish&gt;
  [path&#8230;]</div></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="para"><p>Creates an archive of the specified format containing the tree
 structure for the named tree, and writes it out to the standard
 output. If &lt;prefix&gt; is specified it is
 prepended to the filenames in the archive.</p></div>
 <div class="para"><p><em>git archive</em> 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 <em>git get-tar-commit-id</em>. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
 comment.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_options">OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 --format=&lt;fmt&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Format of the resulting archive: <em>tar</em> or <em>zip</em>. 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 <tt>tar</tt>.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -l
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --list
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show all available formats.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --verbose
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Report progress to stderr.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --prefix=&lt;prefix&gt;/
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Prepend &lt;prefix&gt;/ to each filename in the archive.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -o &lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dt>
 --output=&lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Write the archive to &lt;file&gt; instead of stdout.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --worktree-attributes
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Look for attributes in .gitattributes in working directory too.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;extra&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This can be any options that the archiver backend understands.
  See next section.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --remote=&lt;repo&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of making a tar archive from the local repository,
  retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --exec=&lt;git-upload-archive&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Used with --remote to specify the path to the
  <em>git-upload-archive</em> on the remote side.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;tree-ish&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  The tree or commit to produce an archive for.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 path
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_backend_extra_options">BACKEND EXTRA OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <h3 id="_zip">zip</h3><div style="clear:left"></div>
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 -0
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Store the files instead of deflating them.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -9
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Highest and slowest compression level. You can specify any
  number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 tar.umask
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_attributes">ATTRIBUTES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 export-ignore
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Files and directories with the attribute export-ignore won't be
  added to archive files. See <a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a> for details.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 export-subst
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  If the attribute export-subst is set for a file then git will
  expand several placeholders when adding this file to an archive.
  See <a href="gitattributes.html">gitattributes(5)</a> for details.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl></div>
 <div class="para"><p>Note that attributes are by default taken from the <tt>.gitattributes</tt> 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 <tt>.gitattributes</tt>), adjust the checked out
 <tt>.gitattributes</tt> file as necessary and use <tt>--work-tree-attributes</tt>
 option. Alternatively you can keep necessary attributes that should apply
 while archiving any tree in your <tt>$GIT_DIR/info/attributes</tt> file.</p></div>
 </div>
 <h2 id="_examples">EXAMPLES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="vlist"><dl>
 <dt>
 git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ &amp;&amp; tar xf -)
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the
  latest commit on the current branch, and extract it in the
  <tt>/var/tmp/junk</tt> directory.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0 | gzip &gt;git-1.4.0.tar.gz
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release.

 <dt>
 git archive --format=tar --prefix=git-1.4.0/ v1.4.0&#94;{tree} | gzip &gt;git-1.4.0.tar.gz
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Create a compressed tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a
  global extended pax header.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git archive --format=zip --prefix=git-docs/ HEAD:Documentation/ &gt; git-1.4.0-docs.zip
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory
  into <em>git-1.4.0-docs.zip</em>, with the prefix <em>git-docs/</em>.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 git archive -o latest.zip HEAD
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Create a Zip archive that contains the contents of the latest
  commit on the current branch. Note that the output format is
  inferred by the extension of the output file.

	<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<div class="para"><p>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.</p></div>
	<div class="para"><p><em>git archive</em> 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 <em>git get-tar-commit-id</em>. In ZIP files it is stored as a file
	comment.</p></div>

	<dt>
	--format=<fmt>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Format of the resulting archive: <em>tar</em> or <em>zip</em>. 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 <tt>tar</tt>.

	This can be any options that the archiver backend understands.

	<dt>
	--remote=<repo>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Instead of making a tar archive from the local repository,

	</dd>
	<dt>
	--exec=<git-upload-archive>
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>

	<dd>
	<p>
	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

	appropriate export-ignore in its <tt>.gitattributes</tt>), adjust the checked out
	<tt>.gitattributes</tt> file as necessary and use <tt>--work-tree-attributes</tt>
	option. Alternatively you can keep necessary attributes that should apply
