How to zip only a particular folder and skip certain files while compressing

zip -vr target_archive.zip folder_to_zip -x "path/to/exclude/*" "*.log"

Explanation:

  • -v: Enables verbose mode, showing details about added files.
  • -r: Recursively compresses the entire folder, including subfolders.
  • -x "path/to/exclude/*” “*.log”: Excludes all files within the path directory and exclude specific file types.
