ZipIgnore

Reason

For quite some time I’ve been writing terminal shortcuts for my computer (See Unity Opener).

Today I’ve built a basic shortcut to take into account .gitignore files, as I don’t want to manually deselect them when compressing using the context menu.

It’ll probably support other types of .ignore files, but I said .gitignore as it’s the only kind I use.

Code

For now, I only have a Batch file:

@echo off

call “C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe” “a” ^
“-xr@.gitignore” “-tzip” “result.zip” %1

Limitations

For now, as a basic shortcut it only supports the wildcards that 7zip supports.

There’s no support for character wildcards like “[Aa]ssets”
