git-bundle:tldr:923b1

git-bundle: Create a bundle file that contains all objects and references of a specific branch.
$ git bundle create ${filename-bundle} ${branch_name}
try on your machine

This command is used in Git to create a bundle file containing all the necessary data of a specific branch. The command has the following syntax:

git bundle create ${filename-bundle} ${branch_name}

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • git bundle create: This is the main command used to create a bundle file.
  • ${filename-bundle}: This is the name of the bundle file you want to create. You can choose any desired filename. The file extension ".bundle" is commonly used to indicate that it's a bundle file. For example, you can use my-bundle.bundle.
  • ${branch_name}: This specifies the name of the branch for which you want to create the bundle. You should replace ${branch_name} with the actual name of the branch you want to bundle. For example, if you want to bundle the branch "feature-branch", you would replace ${branch_name} with feature-branch.

To create a bundle file using this command, you would run it in your Git command-line interface, replacing ${filename-bundle} and ${branch_name} with the appropriate values. For example, here's how you would create a bundle file named my-bundle.bundle for the branch "feature-branch":

git bundle create my-bundle.bundle feature-branch

Once executed, Git will create the bundle file with the specified name my-bundle.bundle, incorporating all the necessary data from the "feature-branch" branch. This bundle file can then be shared, transported, or used as a backup to restore the branch later.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
