Git Update Zipper

Simple Windows desktop tool: select a local git repo, pick what changed files to include, click a button → get a zip with full files and their paths preserved. Ready for upload to your server.

What it does

• Point it at any local git repo
• Choose what to zip:
  • Uncommitted changes — files modified but not committed
  • Unpushed commits — all changes in commits not yet pushed
  • Last commit only — just the most recent commit
  • Select commits — pick a range of commits to combine
• Produces update_<timestamp>.zip with all changed files, preserving their directory paths
