<code>zip</code> is the command to package and compress files together as .zip extension.

|
Simply type zip + name of the zip file + name of the files to be compressed as .zip.

Say you want to compress a file named test.txt and an image named image.png together
|
|
in one zip file named test.zip. This is what it should look like:
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
zip -r test.zip text.txt image.png
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
In this case it should return a test.zip file in your desktop with a directory inside
|
|
containing the two files together.<br><br>
