Using Git to create an archive of changed files

Question

I am looking for a simple solution to make a archive of recent changed file.

I get this simple command from google

git archive -o update.zip HEAD $(g         


        

Answer 1

You just need to filter out files deleted while that diff to fix that error:

git archive -o update.zip HEAD $(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=d HEAD^..HEAD)

May be git archive is overhead for that task and you should use @eckes's answer.
But, you still should add --diff-filter=d to exclude removed files from archive.
