I'm trying to create a zip file from a folder and I'd like to exclude the .git
sub-folder from the resulting zip file.
I have gone to the parent folder of the one I want to zip (called bitvolution) and I'm doing:
zip -r bitvolution.zip bitvolution -x ".git"
But it doesn't exclude the .git
sub-folder.
I've tried various combinations, -x .git*
, -x \.git/*
, -x .git/\*
, -x \.git/\*
. I've also tried using the full path for the exclude argument... but just didn't get there.
-x ".git*"
worked for me.
