What does the git archive command do?
a) Creates a zip or tar archive of the repository
b) Archives old commits
c) Deletes branches
d) Shows archived commits
Answer:
a) Creates a zip or tar archive of the repository
Explanation:
The git archive command is used to create an archive (zip, tar, etc.) of the contents of a Git repository. It doesn’t include the Git metadata but packages the working directory files at a particular point in time.
This is useful for generating distribution-ready archives of a specific version of the project without including the entire repository history.
You can also use git archive to export a particular branch or tag.
