In Linux zip, is it possible to zip a folder recursively except for a given sub-path?
For instance, to zip ‘base_folder’ and all its sub folders except ‘base_folder/sub_folder’.
Is it possible?
And if so, how?
zip -r base_folder.zip base_folder -x base_folder/sub_folder/\* base_folder/another_sub_folder/\*(I have incorporated the improved information from your experience that you have kindly offered in your comment.)
For more information:
man zip
