1git-tar-tree(1) 2=============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-tar-tree - Creates a tar archive of the files in the named tree 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-tar-tree' [--remote=<repo>] <tree-ish> [ <base> ] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree. 16When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the 17generated tar archive. 18 19git-tar-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given 20a commit ID or tag ID. In the first case the current time is used as 21modification time of each file in the archive. In the latter case the 22commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead. 23Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header. 24It can be extracted using git-get-tar-commit-id. 25 26OPTIONS 27------- 28 29<tree-ish>:: 30 The tree or commit to produce tar archive for. If it is 31 the object name of a commit object. 32 33<base>:: 34 Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive. 35 36--remote=<repo>:: 37 Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, 38 retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository. 39 40CONFIGURATION 41------------- 42By default, file and directories modes are set to 0666 or 0777. It is 43possible to change this by setting the "umask" variable in the 44repository configuration as follows : 45 46[tar] 47 umask = 002 ;# group friendly 48 49The special umask value "user" indicates that the user's current umask 50will be used instead. The default value remains 0, which means world 51readable/writable files and directories. 52 53EXAMPLES 54-------- 55git tar-tree HEAD junk | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -):: 56 57 Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the 58 latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in 59 `/var/tmp/junk` directory. 60 61git tar-tree v1.4.0 git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: 62 63 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release. 64 65git tar-tree v1.4.0{caret}\{tree\} git-1.4.0 | gzip >git-1.4.0.tar.gz:: 66 67 Create a tarball for v1.4.0 release, but without a 68 global extended pax header. 69 70git tar-tree --remote=example.com:git.git v1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.tar:: 71 72 Get a tarball v1.4.0 from example.com. 73 74git tar-tree HEAD:Documentation/ git-docs > git-1.4.0-docs.tar:: 75 76 Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory 77 into 'git-1.4.0-docs.tar', with the prefix 'git-docs/'. 78 79Author 80------ 81Written by Rene Scharfe. 82 83Documentation 84-------------- 85Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 86 87GIT 88--- 89Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 90
