How to use zipthis

Start of use

To use the zipthis you need type following command in console or terminal:

>zipthis {zip archive name} {zip archive source} {zip archive destination}

Where:

  • {zip archive name} - is final archive name. Default value is source directory name;
  • {zip archive source} - is the source directory to be archived. Default value is 'zipthis' execution directory;
  • {zip archive destination} - is directory where the archive will be created. Default value is 'zipthis' execution directory.

Rules:

All arguments are passed one by one one in turn.

This rule imposes a restriction on the passing of zipthis arguments.

If you want to pass in command {zip archive source} argument at first you need to pass {zip archive name}.

And, accordingly, if you want to pass the {zip archive destination} argument first you need to pass the {zip archive name} and {zip archive source} arguments.

Examples:

All arguments are default:

EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar>zipthis

This command will create archive with name bar.zip in EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar which will contains all files and directories from EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar.

Set archive name:

EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar>zipthis myarchive

This command will create archive with name myarchive.zip in EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar which will contains all files and directories from EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar.

Set archive source:

EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar>zipthis myarchive EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar\johndoe

This command will create archive with name myarchive.zip in EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar which will contains all files and directories from EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar\johndoe.

Set archive source:

EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar>zipthis myarchive EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar\johndoe EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\

This command will create archive with name myarchive.zip in EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\ which will contains all files and directories from EXAMPLE_DISC:\foo\bar\johndoe.
