Zip files and keep directory structure within a range of git commits
- Install file to
/usr/local/bin - then run
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/zipgit
You should now be able to run zipgit and see the following:

Welcome to ZipGit

Instructions:
-------------
• First argument is required - Enter the name of the first commit (eg. 0793006ca94d0415a6345fd0f6efc22ca693d5ab)
• Second argument is required - Enter the name of the second commit (eg. 0afad0cebff0907bd1060d25bf0436c31375c8b5)
• Third argument is required - Enter the location and name of the zip file: ~/Desktop/myzip.zip
- Get the first commit name (eg. fdec9cf6e0766d2e97b2bd71e04a5689ca457651, this will be a past commit)
- Get the second commit name (eg. 7061d78ca302aa7c999b98ac16765acf372abdaa, this could be the latest commit)
So all files that have changed between fdec9c... and 7061d7... will be saved into the zip in the directory structure they should be.
Next...
- Decide where you're going to save it (eg.
~/Desktop/latest-commits-for-client-to-upload.zip) - Then run the script (note that commit name must be full name, it is shortened here for clarity
zipgit fdec9c... 7061d7... ~/Desktop/latest-commits-for-client-to-upload.zip
Result—once unzipped—should be something like:
