Welcome to the git-archive-all.sh wiki!

git-archive-all.sh is a simple bash shell script that runs git-archive in the current directory, then finds all git submodules beneath the current working directory and runs git-archive for each of them, too. By default, the utility will then create one “super archive” of the entire directory hierarchy.

Most options available in git-archive supported. See below for details.

Examples

The simplest use of this script is:

cd $GIT_DIR; git-archive-all.sh

Caveats

Since different submodules may be at different commits, git-archive-all.sh always supposes you want the HEAD of the superproject and all its submodules. That is, there is no provision to provide git-archive-all.sh with a different tree-ish parameter to pass along to git-archive. This might cause surprise if your submodule’s working copy is different from its HEAD.
