Simpler yet, I'm using: zip -r ../project.zip . -x *.git* Which essentially does the same thing I would need from git-archive --recurse-submodule, zip everything excluding .git folders. Still would be better to use git itself. 2015-04-16 18:56 GMT+01:00 Fredrik Gustafsson : > On Thu, Apr 16, 2015 at 06:35:38PM +0100, Pedro Rodrigues wrote: >> I've been using git-archive as my main way of deploying to production >> servers, but today I've come across a git repo with submodules and >> found out that git archive has no option to include submodules on the >> output archive. > > As far as I know this is an known limitation that's just waiting for > someone to solve.
