Solution

git bundle — Package objects and references into an archive. More information: <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bundle>.

Create a bundle file that contains all objects and references of a specific branch:

git bundle create {{path/to/file.bundle}} {{branch_name}}

Create a bundle file of all branches:

git bundle create {{path/to/file.bundle}} --all

Create a bundle file of the last 5 commits of the current branch:

git bundle create {{path/to/file.bundle}} -5 {{HEAD}}

Create a bundle file of the latest 7 days:

git bundle create {{path/to/file.bundle}} --since 7.days {{HEAD}}

Verify that a bundle file is valid and can be applied to the current repository:

git bundle verify {{path/to/file.bundle}}

Print to stdout the list of references contained in a bundle:

git bundle unbundle {{path/to/file.bundle}}

Unbundle a specific branch from a bundle file into the current repository:

git pull {{path/to/file.bundle}} {{branch_name}}

Create a new repository from a bundle:

git clone {{path/to/file.bundle}}
