git-archive-all [-v] [--prefix PREFIX] [--no-exclude] [--force-submodules] [--extra EXTRA1 ...] [--dry-run] [-0 | ... | -9] OUTPUT_FILE

Options:

  --version             Show program's version number and exit.

  -h, --help            Show this help message and exit.

  -v, --verbose         Enable verbose mode.

  --prefix=PREFIX       Prepend PREFIX to each filename in the archive. OUTPUT_FILE name is used by default to avoid tarbomb. You can set it to '' in order to explicitly request tarbomb.

  --no-exclude          Don't read .gitattributes files for patterns containing export-ignore attributes.

  --force-submodules    Force a `git submodule init && git submodule update` at each level before iterating submodules

  --extra               Include extra files to the resulting archive.

  --dry-run             Don't actually archive anything, just show what would be done.
