Use git archive to export the last committed Git change file

Original link: https://blog.kelu.org/tech/2023/05/27/how-to-export-gits-changed-files.html

git archive -o "$(basename "$(pwd)").zip" HEAD $(git diff --name-only HEAD^ HEAD)

The meaning is as follows:

  • git archive : used to create a Git archive file.

  • -o "$(basename "$(pwd)").zip" : Specifies the name of the output file. Here, we use basename "$(pwd)" to get the directory name of the current directory.

  • HEAD : A reference representing the commit we want to export

    HEAD is a pointer to the branch you are currently on, and it points to the latest commit.

    And HEAD^ indicates the parent submission of the current submission, which is the penultimate submission.

  • $(git diff --name-only HEAD^ HEAD) : Used to get the list of changed files between the latest commit and the last commit. git diff --name-only HEAD^ HEAD command returns relative paths to these files.
