Pack Source Code into ZIP using a PowerShell Script registered as Windows Explorer command for directories

Packs your Source Code into a ZIP without binaries and other artifacts!

1. Run this script as admin to register this script in the Registry as Windows Explorer command for directories

2. Now run the script from the Windows Explorer on any directory containing code :-)

Alternative: Run Script from PowerShell console with the code directory as parameter:

.\PackSourceCodeIntoZip.ps1 "T:\temp\HelloWorld1.0"

Note

The script is not signed! If you see an error "is not digitally signed. You cannot run this script on the current system." either

• sign the script,
• change your execution policy or
• bypass the execution policy:

powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file .\PackSourceCodeIntoZip.ps1

powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -file .\PackSourceCodeIntoZip.ps1 "T:\temp\HelloWorld1.0"

Configuration

• You can configure the directories and files to exclude within the script ($excludeDirs, $excludeFiles)
• You can configure an optional Readme file to add to all created ZIP archives ($readmeFile)
