`archive` [target....]

Generate an archive of the target state, or only the targets specified. This can be piped into tar to inspect the target state.

`-f`, `--format` `tar`|`tar.gz`|`tgz`|`zip`

Write the archive in format. If --output is set the format is guessed from the extension, otherwise the default is tar.

`-i`, `--include` types

Only include entries of type types.

`-z`, `--gzip`

Compress the archive with gzip. This is automatically set if the format is tar.gz or tgz and is ignored if the format is zip.

Example

$ chezmoi archive | tar tvf -
$ chezmoi archive --output=dotfiles.tar.gz
$ chezmoi archive --output=dotfiles.zip
