- zip and unzip
-
Add files/directories to a specific archive:
zip -r path/to/compressed.zip path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ... -
Archive files/directories with a specific compression level (
0- the lowest,9- the highest):zip -r -0..9 path/to/compressed.zip path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ... -
Create an encrypted archive with a specific password:
zip -r --encrypt path/to/compressed.zip path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ... -
Archive files/directories to a multi-part [s]plit Zip archive (e.g. 3 GB parts):
zip -r -s 3g path/to/compressed.zip path/to/file_or_directory1 path/to/file_or_directory2 ... -
Print a specific archive contents:
zip -sf path/to/compressed.zip -
Excluding directories or files
zip -r myarchive.zip target -x "target/exclude1/*" "target/exclude2/*"Exclude all directories within target of particular name(can be nested deep too)zip -r archive_name.zip /path/to/source -x "*/exclude_dir/*" -
Include hidden directories in zip file
find . -mindepth 1 -print | zip archive_name.zip -@find .starts the search in the current directory.mindepth 1ensures the search does not include the current directory itself (.) in the results.printoutputs the found items.
-
Extract all files/directories from specific archives into the current directory:
unzip path/to/archive1.zip path/to/archive2.zip ... -
Extract files/directories from archives to a specific path:
unzip path/to/archive1.zip path/to/archive2.zip ... -d path/to/output
-
- 7zip
-
[a]dd a file or directory to a new or existing archive:
7z a path/to/archive.7z path/to/file_or_directory -
Encrypt an existing archive (including filenames):
7z a path/to/encrypted.7z -ppassword -mhe=on path/to/archive.7z -
E[x]tract an archive preserving the original directory structure:
7z x path/to/archive.7z -
E[x]tract an archive to a specific directory:
7z x path/to/archive.7z -opath/to/output -
E[x]tract an archive to
stdout:7z x path/to/archive.7z -so -
[a]rchive using a specific archive type:
7z a -t7z|bzip2|gzip|lzip|tar|zip path/to/archive path/to/file_or_directory -
[l]ist the contents of an archive:
7z l path/to/archive.7z -
Set the level of compression (higher means more compression, but slower):
7z a path/to/archive.7z -mx=0|1|3|5|7|9 path/to/file_or_directory
