Zipping all files in a Git repository

Hello,

This is a quick / reference post illustrating how to archive (zip format) all the files in a branch in a Git repository.

From the command prompt, type:

 
git archive --format=zip -o files.zip master

Explanation:

1. The “–format” argument lets you specify the archive type. I used the zip file format
2. The “-o” argument lets you specify the output file name
3. “master” is the name of the branch to be archived.
