git: save all changed file tree between versions
Raw
git_save_tree.md

Get tree of changed files between versions and save it to TAR archive

git diff-tree -r --no-commit-id --name-only --diff-filter=ACMRT $commit_id | xargs tar -rf mytarfile.tar
  1. git diff-tree -r $commit_id: - Take a diff of the given commit to its parent(s) (including all subdirectories, not just the top directory).
  2. --no-commit-id --name-only: - Do not output the commit SHA1. Output only the names of the affected files instead of a full diff.
  3. --diff-filter=ACMRT: - Only show files added, copied, modified, renamed or that had their type changed (eg. file → symlink) in this commit. This leaves out deleted files.
