有没有办法将 Git 历史记录保存到 ZIP 文件中？

Question

I'm a beginner in using Git as version control. I need to compile my Git History and compress it into a ZIP file. But I can't seem to find a way to find the physical file that shows Git History. The IDE I've used to develop my project is VS Code.

Answer 1

git offers a built in way to get the history of a repository in one single file: git bundle . Check git help bundle for details.

The complete state of your repo is stored in the hidden .git/ directory in the root directory. Archive that directory and you will have a backup of your repo.

Note that the content of that directory is basically already zipped, so there isn't much gain (in bytes) to expect from compressing it.
