I'm using git-archive to archive a subdirectory in a git repo, like so:
git archive -o ../subarchive.zip HEAD subdir/*
However the resulting archive maintains the subdir/ directory structure, i.e. the contents are:
subdir/
whatever.js
morestuff.js
When I actually want whatever.js and morestuff.js at the root of the archive.
How do? Thanks.
You can do that like this:
git archive -o ../subarchive.zip HEAD:subdir
By the way, an easy way to play with the command and see what it will generate is if you use it in this form:
git archive --format=tar HEAD:subdir | tar t
git archive --format=tar HEAD subdir | tar t
# ... and so on ...
Once you see what you're looking for, you can change the format and use the -o flag to actually create the archive.
