There are times when you need to zip your project, either for backup or whatever. You can always use tar or zip commands. But if you use git as a version control, there is a very simple way to achieve this.
Say hello to git-archive!
It’s simple. Type:
`git archive -o name.zip HEAD`
when in your project directory.
This will automatically zip your project and save the output (-o) to a file called ‘name.zip’.
Zip is not good enough? No problem, rename the output file to, for example, name.tar.
