• Use the Zip format and report progress verbosely:

git archive -v|--verbose --format zip HEAD

• Output the Zip archive to a specific file:

git archive -v|--verbose -o|--output path/to/file.zip HEAD

• Create a tar archive from the contents of the latest commit of a specific branch:

git archive -o|--output path/to/file.tar branch_name

• Use the contents of a specific directory:

git archive -o|--output path/to/file.tar HEAD:path/to/directory

• Prepend a path to each file to archive it inside a specific directory:

git archive -o|--output path/to/file.tar --prefix path/to/prepend/ HEAD
