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'git-tar-tree' [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15THIS COMMAND IS DEPRECATED. Use `git-archive` with `--format=tar` 16option instead (and move the <base> argument to `--prefix=base/`). 17 18Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree. 19When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the 20generated tar archive. 21 22git-tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given 23a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is used as 24modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter case the 25commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead. 26Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header. 27It can be extracted using git-get-tar-commit-id. 28 29OPTIONS 30------- 31 32<tree-ish>:: 33 The tree or commit to produce tar archive for. If it is 34 the object name of a commit object. 35 36<base>:: 37 Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive. 38 39--remote=<repo>:: 40 Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, 41 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository. 42 43CONFIGURATION 44------------- 45By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777. It is 46possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable in the 47repository configuration as follows : 48 49[tar] 50 umask = 002 ;# group friendly 51 52The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask 53will be used instead. The default value is 002, which means group 54readable/writable files and directories. 55 56EXAMPLES 57-------- 58git tar-tree HEAD junk | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -):: 59 60 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the 61 latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in 62 `/var/tmp/junk` directory. 63 64git tar-tree v1.4.0 git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: 65 66 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release. 67 68git tar-tree v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: 69 70 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a 71 global extended pax header. 72 73git tar-tree --remote=example.com:git.git v1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.tar:: 74 75 Get a tarball v1.4.0 from example.com. 76 77git tar-tree HEAD:Documentation/ git-docs > git-1.4.0-docs.tar:: 78 79 Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory 80 into 'git-1.4.0-docs.tar', with the prefix 'git-docs/'. 81 82Author 83------ 84Written by Rene Scharfe. 85 86Documentation 87-------------- 88Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 89 90GIT 91--- 92Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 93
