Git Copy

File: src/scripts/git-copy.sh · Copy all differences between two git commits.

Copies the files changed between two commits into a target directory, then zips it to <target>_<timestamp>.zip (when zip is absent it warns and leaves the copied folder un-zipped). Defaults are computed at runtime: start is the penultimate commit, end is the last commit. When -t is omitted the target defaults to $GIT_COPY_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH/<repo-basename> (set GIT_COPY_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH in the project root .env, copy .env.example to .env); when -t is given its value is used verbatim (repo basename not appended).

Parameters

Flag	Required	Default	Description
-s, --start_commit_hash	no	penultimate commit	Range start
-e, --end_commit_hash	no	last commit	Range end
-t, --target_directory_path	no	$GIT_COPY_TARGET_DIRECTORY_PATH/<repo-basename>	Target dir (used verbatim)
-h, --help	—	—	Print usage and exit
