In the working directory:

Running git log --pretty=oneline

Will output something like:

ddd9b0d0e4ab886b9ef23f6c04856382b4c48546 (HEAD -> master, origin/master) Last commit
30c92c6b16d578266722f2199c0ea577da103efe Third commit
0971975c68d49485119008c96b5ccf24063b4651 Second commit
359592c2075947e957e3455a1885e12dafa0df63 Fist commit

Type q to exit from git log.

Let's say we want to make an archive only with the file changes between 359592 (first commit SHA1) and ddd9b0d (last commit SHA1) named last-changes.zip

We will run:

./gitdiffzip.sh 359592 ddd9b0d last-changes.zip
