Git archive adding not versioned file to subdirectory-CodePudding

Trying to make zip archive with such command

git archive -v -o app.zip --add-file=.env --add-file=.ebextensions/my-scripts.config HEAD

2 not versioned files are added via --add-file option.

Problem is that my-script.config added to the root of archive, but I need it inside .ebextensions folder as it was initially.

Is there any way to achieve it with git archive command?

CodePudding user response：

This isn't documented anywhere, so I'm not sure how much you should count on it, but testing shows that it works:

git archive -v -o app.zip \
    --add-file=.env \
    --prefix=.ebextensions/ --add-file=.ebextensions/my-scripts.config \
    --prefix= HEAD

(all as one line without the backslash-newline, or leave in the backslashes in sh / bash) does the trick with Git version 2.34. Based on the code, it should work in all the versions of Git that have --add-file (2.29 and later). Essentially, --prefix sets the current prefix; --add-file adds a file whose pathname consists of the prefix plus the tail part of the path, and --prefix then replaces the prefix, so that you don't have to affect the rest of the action.
