How do I zip up a folder but exclude the .git subfolder
I'm trying to create a zip file from a folder and I'd like to exclude the .git sub-folder from the resulting zip file.
I have gone to the parent folder of the one I want to zip (called bitvolution) and I'm doing:
zip -r bitvolution.zip bitvolution -x ".git"
But it doesn't exclude the .git sub-folder.
I've tried various combinations, -x .git*, -x .git/*, -x .git/*, -x .git/*. I've also tried using the full path for the exclude argument... but just didn't get there.

The correct expression is -x *.git*, so the full command should be:
zip -r bitvolution.zip bitvolution -x *.git*
An explanation from http://selfsolved.com/problems/zip-command-exclude-svn-director:
The correct incantation is
zip -9 -r --exclude=*.svn* foo.zip [directory-to-compress]
You can also add a
--exclude=*.DS_Store*to exclude the annoying Mac OS X directory display metadata files.
Notice that the expression passed to
--excludeis using the entire original relative directory path as the original string to match against. So.svn/*by itself doesn't work; the wildcard character in front ensures that it matches.svndirectories anywhere in the directory tree.

If you're trying to zip up a project which is stored in Git, use the git archive command. From within the source directory:
git archive -o bitvolution.zip HEAD
You can use any commit or tag ID instead of HEAD to archive the project at a certain point.
If you want to add a prefix (e.g., a top level folder) to every file:
git archive -o bitvolution.zip --prefix=bitvolution/ HEAD
You can also adjust the compression level between 0 (no compression) and 9 (maximum compression) inclusive, for example
git archive -o bitvolution.zip -9 HEAD
For other options, see the help page (git help archive).

Assuming you have git installed on the machine you are doing this, you can also use git itself to create your archive.
git archive --format=zip HEAD -o bitvolution.zip

If you are using zsh, command should look like:
zip -r target_name.zip source_dir -x '/*.git/*'
If you use: zip -r target_name.zip source_dir -x /*.git/*.
without 'regex', zsh will process before zip run. You will get error message:
zsh: no matches found: /*.git/*

Assuming you have git installed on the machine you are doing this, you can also use git itself to create your archive.
git archive --format=zip HEAD -o bitvolution.zip

If you are using zsh, command should look like:
zip -r target_name.zip source_dir -x '/*.git/*'
If you use: zip -r target_name.zip source_dir -x /*.git/*.
without 'regex', zsh will process before zip run. You will get error message:
zsh: no matches found: /*.git/*
