This article shows how to extract and archive only files modified or added in a Git commit.

All the examples below are to extract files from the previous commit, but if you change the HEAD^ part to two commit hashes separated by a space, then it will extract changes between those commits.

Using Git

git archive --format=zip HEAD `git diff --name-only HEAD^` > archive.zip

Using Zip

zip archive.zip $(git diff --name-only HEAD^)

Using Tar

tar -czvf archive.tgz $(git diff --name-only HEAD^)
