git-package —
create an archive of a named tree suitable for
distribution
git package |
[-f format]
tree-ish [path...] |
git-package creates an archive of a named tree (or
specific paths within that tree, if specified) that is suitable for
distribution on the world wide web. It saves the archive to
<name>-<tree-ish>.<format>, where
name is the title of the repository. For supported archive
formats, see git-archive(1). A default archive format can be
set via git-config(1), using the
package.format option.
The options are as follows:
-f
format- The format to archive tree-ish as. Defaults to
package.format, or tar.gz if unset.
git-package was written due to the lack of a convenient
tool to create release archives for distribution.
git-archive(1) was considered, but was found to be too
burdensome to be deployed regularly.
git-package was written by Wolfgang
Müller .
