Linux CLI - Archiving and Compression

You want to create a zip archive project.zip that excludes all .log files inside the project folder recursively. Which command achieves this?

Azip project.zip -r project --exclude '*.log'

Bzip -r project.zip project -x '*.log'

Czip -r project.zip project --ignore '*.log'

Dzip -r project.zip project -e '*.log'

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Identify exclusion syntax for zip
The -x option excludes files matching a pattern during zip creation.
Step 2: Check command correctness
zip -r project.zip project -x '*.log' uses -r for recursion and -x '*.log' to exclude log files correctly. Others use invalid or unsupported options.
Final Answer:
zip -r project.zip project -x '*.log' -> Option B
Quick Check:
Exclude files in zip = use -x pattern [OK]

Quick Trick: Use -x 'pattern' to exclude files in zip [OK]
