1git-tar-tree(1) 2=============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-tar-tree - Create a tar archive of the files in the named tree object 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git tar-tree' [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ] 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16THIS COMMAND IS DEPRECATED. Use 'git archive' with `--format=tar` 17option instead (and move the <base> argument to `--prefix=base/`). 18 19Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree. 20When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the 21generated tar archive. 22 23'git tar-tree' behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given 24a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is used as 25modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter case the 26commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead. 27Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header. 28It can be extracted using 'git get-tar-commit-id'. 29 30OPTIONS 31------- 32 33<tree-ish>:: 34 The tree or commit to produce tar archive for. If it is 35 the object name of a commit object. 36 37<base>:: 38 Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive. 39 40--remote=<repo>:: 41 Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, 42 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository. 43 44CONFIGURATION 45------------- 46 47tar.umask:: 48 This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of 49 tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the 50 world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the 51 archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) for 52 details. 53 54EXAMPLES 55-------- 56`git tar-tree HEAD junk | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)`:: 57 58 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the 59 latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in 60 `/var/tmp/junk` directory. 61 62`git tar-tree v1.4.0 git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz`:: 63 64 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release. 65 66`git tar-tree v1.4.0^{tree} git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz`:: 67 68 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a 69 global extended pax header. 70 71`git tar-tree --remote=example.com:git.git v1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.tar`:: 72 73 Get a tarball v1.4.0 from example.com. 74 75`git tar-tree HEAD:Documentation/ git-docs > git-1.4.0-docs.tar`:: 76 77 Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory 78 into 'git-1.4.0-docs.tar', with the prefix 'git-docs/'. 79 80GIT 81--- 82Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
