git-bundle:tldr:923b1
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 usemy-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}
withfeature-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.
