working with zip.md

zip a directory for windows by removing .DS_Store

zip -r foo.zip foo -x "*.DS_Store"

To interpret this, we are running the zip executable with the following parameters/arguments:

  • -r for recursively including all directories underneath the targets we want to zip.
  • foo.zip is the name of the zip archive we are creating
  • foo is the target directory we want to zip up
  • -x "*.DS_Store" excludes all files whose path ends in the string ".DS_Store"
