Unable to Zip one subfolder and exclude all subfolders

[Rex Maughan]

Hey, I have a problem when zipping a folder. Let's say I have a folder Project with node_modules to be excluded, but I want to include only node_modules/mydir in my zip.

Any Suggestions?

Your problem can be solved by using the zip command with -x to exclude everything under node_modules/ except node_modules/mydir.

Just run the following command:


zip -r project.zip Project -x "Project/node_modules/*" "Project/node_modules/mydir/*"

Hope it works.
