Material that is not in a Git code repository can be collected separately and added to your product. Think for example of technical documentation, or material that’s important for development and management of the software solution. Or additional data that is not included in a Git repository.
Collect escrow material
Collect the material in one or more directories (folders) and compress these folders into one file. This can be done, for example, with Winzip (Windows), 7zip or other compress tool or command like “tar”.
Always keep a copy of the deposit material for your own reference and subsequent update deposits.
