- Create a `.tar` archive from the contents of the current `HEAD` and print it to `stdout`:
`git archive {{[-v|--verbose]}} HEAD`
- Use the Zip format and report progress verbosely:
`git archive {{[-v|--verbose]}} --format zip HEAD`
- Output the Zip archive to a specific file:
`git archive {{[-v|--verbose]}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.zip}} HEAD`
- Create a `.tar` archive from the contents of the latest commit of a specific branch:
`git archive {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.tar}} {{branch_name}}`
- Use the contents of a specific directory:
`git archive {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.tar}} HEAD:{{path/to/directory}}`
- Prepend a path to each file to archive it inside a specific directory:
`git archive {{[-o|--output]}} {{path/to/file.tar}} --prefix {{path/to/prepend}}/ HEAD`
