List of files in a git push using git archive

Question

Is there a way to get only those files that are in a git push, onto a separate folder, using git archive?

I tried the below solution

git archive --format zip --output /full/path/to/zipfile.zip ${commitid}

but I can get the entire repository content.

I am basically looking for files that are being committed and pushed at the server side(pre-receive).

Answer 1

The following command prepares an archive of all the files modified by the commit specified :

$ git diff-tree -z --no-commit-id --name-only -r <commit-id> | xargs -0 git archive -o list.zip HEAD:
