Zippy

Why

To make the lives of window devs easy

when I was looking for a CLI for zipping files in windows this is what I found:

C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" --help

or powershell from Win CMD:

powershell "Compress-Archive input.txt output.zip"

I wanted something that was intuitive with minimal options. So I decided to do it myself.

How to install

git clone https://github.com/AaravSibbal/zippy.git

go build -o zippy.exe .

move the binary to the bin folder

Add the bin folder to the PATH

How to use it

zippy [option] inputName outputName

To get help write:

zippy help

To zip files:

zippy -f filename

or

zippy -f filename .

or

zippy -f filename someOutputNanme

Note: if not given the output file will be output.zip

To zip directories:

zippy -d

or

zippy -d .

or

zippy -d dirName

or

zippy -d . output

or

zippy -d . .

or

zippy -d dirname output

zippy -d . output

Note:

• input directory name if left blank or with a "." will be treated as the working directory

• output file name if left bank or with a "." will be default to output.zip

To unzip

in the works

test the zip

Contributions

Contributions are welcome. There are 2 things that I would like the focus on:

1. unzip
2. testing the validity of the zip
