git-bundle: Create a bundle file of the latest 7 days.
$ git bundle create ${filename-bundle} --since=${7-days} ${HEAD}
try on your machine

This command creates a Git bundle file with the name specified in the variable filename-bundle. The bundle file contains all the necessary data to replicate the state of the repository.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • git bundle create: This is the command to create a new Git bundle file.
  • ${filename-bundle}: This is a placeholder for the name of the bundle file you want to create. You can replace it with a specific name, for example, mybundle.bundle.
  • --since=${7-days}: This option specifies the time range of commits to include in the bundle file. The 7-days is a placeholder for a specific time period. In this example, it means that the bundle will include all commits made within the last 7 days.
  • ${HEAD}: This is a reference to the commit you want to start building the bundle from. HEAD refers to the currently checked out commit in Git. If you want to bundle all commits in the repository, you can use --all instead.

By running this command, Git will create a bundle file with the specified name, containing the necessary data to replicate the state of the repository from the specified time range and commit reference. This bundle file can be easily shared and used to transfer the repository's history and changes to another machine or repository.
