Issue
Below mentioned folders contain some data. I need to zip all the folders separately.
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-1
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-4
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-7
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-3
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-5
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-8
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-2
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-6
With this Command, I can zip only one folder
zip -r ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-3.zip ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-3
How can I zip all the folders separately at once?
Solution
First, make sure that you are in the directory where the above mentioned folders are. Then run:
find . -type d -maxdepth 1 -execdir zip '{}.zip' '{}' \;
This will find all the directories and zip them with the names:
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-1.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-4.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-7.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-3.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-5.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-8.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-2.zip
ItembankUpdate-20210602-NGSS-6.zip
