Where should I be getting my release files from when using git? -

maybe weird question i'm still pretty inexperienced git. finished writing pretty simple chrome extension. i've been using git during development hang of using it, i'm little confused how generate release. in actual project folder there hidden .git folder gets included when pack chrome extension, , don't want that. know can copy files directory , rid of git stuff, there correct way within git able generate kind of release directory project files? or rather, how should doing it?

you have makefile or equivalent dist target pack things , create crx file when make dist. packing things not git's responsibility, can't know details of project's structure.

another helpful hint having things in src subdirectory can have other, non-source stuff around (like documentation, readmes, libraries, config skeletons, else not source - of these things not apply chrome extension). added benefit .git directory wouldn't in :p
