If you have a large software repository, sometimes you only want to share part of it with a group. You can accomplish this by using `git bundle`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Creating the Bundle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To bundle all the commits from the development branch to the current head,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git bundle create repo.bundle development..HEAD feature_branch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This will place these commits into a branch called `feature_branch` in `repo.bundle`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Fetching from bundle
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the other side, we need to make sure that we have all the commits up to the `development` branch synchronized. Then we can fetch the commits from the bundle:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git fetch /path/to/repo.bundle feature_branch:feature_branch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The left side of the colon is what you want to grab from the bundle, the right side is the branch to put the commits to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
git checkout feature_branch
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
