Hoping someone can help,

I have a repository for a web application. It has lots of testing files and also others from caching and dynamic content generation (they are gitignored).

How do I make a "release" a copy (not a clone) of the repository that contains only tracked files without .gitignore files? I am using git archive but the resulting zip file still contains .gitignore files.

Cheers, Lucas.
