Creating a tarball from git
Thursday 15, December 2011
If you need to create a tarball file using your repository as source, you can do it using the argument archive from the git command. For example, the following command will create a tarball called pybsnux.tar.gz from the current branch of your repository:
git archive --format=tar --prefix=pybsnux/ HEAD | gzip > /tmp/pybsnux.tar.gz
