=============
Super simple Node utility to create a gzipped tar archive.
Install
-------
npm install --save node-archiver
Usage
-----
``javascript`
var archiver = require('node-archiver');
archiver(__dirname, './dist/my-archive.tar.gz');
You can pass an optional callback to archiver:
`javascript`
archiver(__dirname, './dist/my-archive.tar.gz', function(err) {
if (err) { throw err; }
// Done!
});
Create an archive in the dist/ directory of your project:
``
./node_modules/node-archiver/bin/create_dist
Adding the above line to your build process will create a distributable .tar.gz archive in the dist/ directory of your project. The name of the file will match the name attribute in your package.json.
