Git Syntax: How to archive a repository?
Any one of the following will work:
git archive --output=../_toDeploy/ArchiveName.zip master
git archive -o ../_toDeploy/ArchiveName.zip master
To add a subdirectory inside the archive,
git archive --output=../_toDeploy/ArchiveName.zip --prefix=MyStuff/ master
See the git-archive manual page for reference.
The following will zip up your master branch and put it in the folder you mentioned.
git archive --format=zip master > ../_toDeploy/repo.zip
