Answer a question

So I want to create a script that enables me to compresses each folder into its own zip archive and not into a one big zip file.

As an example, I've got a directory:

+ MyDirectory/
| |
| + Folder_01/
| |
| + Folder_02/
| |
| + Folder_03/
|

When I'm done running the script under MyDirectory then I would have a zip file of each Folder which is inside MyDirectory: Folder_01.zip, Folder_02.zip and Folder_03.zip. I know some BASH but this is something I can't figure out.

How can this be done?

Kind regards.

Answers

for i in *
do
[ -d "$i" ] && zip -r "$i.zip" "$i"
done

You walk through all the directories and create zip for each of them.

Or even more concise:

for i in */; do zip -r "${i%/}.zip" "$i"; done

(thanks to damienfrancois for suggestion).
