unix zip exclude directory

When you compress source code, there’s no need to include the .git directory or node_modules. Let’s exclude them.

zip -r zip_file_name.zip . # compress all files in the current path, including subdirectories
zip -r zip_file_name.zip . -x '.git*' # exclude all files under the .git directory from compression
zip -r zip_file_name.zip . -x 'node_modules*' # exclude all files under the node_modules directory from compression
