.SH NAME
git-tar-tree \- Creates a tar archive of the files in the named tree
.SH "SYNOPSIS"


\fIgit\-tar\-tree\fR [\-\-remote=<repo>] <tree\-ish> [ <base> ]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"


Creates a tar archive containing the tree structure for the named tree\&. When <base> is specified it is added as a leading path to the files in the generated tar archive\&.


git\-tar\-tree behaves differently when given a tree ID versus when given a commit ID or tag ID\&. In the first case the current time is used as modification time of each file in the archive\&. In the latter case the commit time as recorded in the referenced commit object is used instead\&. Additionally the commit ID is stored in a global extended pax header\&. It can be extracted using git\-get\-tar\-commit\-id\&.

.SH "OPTIONS"

.TP
<tree\-ish>
The tree or commit to produce tar archive for\&. If it is the object name of a commit object\&.

.TP
<base>
Leading path to the files in the resulting tar archive\&.

.TP
\-\-remote=<repo>
Instead of making a tar archive from local repository, retrieve a tar archive from a remote repository\&.

.SH "EXAMPLES"

.TP
git tar\-tree HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && mkdir junk && tar Cxf junk \-)
Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the latest commit on the current branch, and extracts it in /var/tmp/junk directory\&.
