git-zip-tree(1)
===============

NAME
----
git-zip-tree - Creates a ZIP archive of the files in the named tree


SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-zip-tree' [-0|...|-9] <tree-ish> [ <base> ]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Creates a ZIP archive containing the tree structure for the named tree.
When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the
generated ZIP archive.

git-zip-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given
a commit ID or tag ID.  In the first case the current time is used as
modification time of each file in the archive.  In the latter case the
commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead.
Additionally the commit ID is stored as an archive comment.

Currently git-zip-tree can handle only files and directories, symbolic
links are not supported.

OPTIONS
-------

-0::
	Store the files instead of deflating them.

-9::
	Highest and slowest compression level.  You can specify any
	number from 1 to 9 to adjust compression speed and ratio.

<tree-ish>::
	The tree or commit to produce ZIP archive for.  If it is
	the object name of a commit object.

<base>::
	Leading path to the files in the resulting ZIP archive.

EXAMPLES
--------
git zip-tree v1.4.0 git-1.4.0 >git-1.4.0.zip::

	Create a ZIP file for v1.4.0 release.

git zip-tree HEAD:Documentation/ git-docs >docs.zip::

	Put everything in the current head's Documentation/ directory
	into 'docs.zip', with the prefix 'git-docs/'.
