@nexssp / packUnpack

Just pack or unpack mulitple files and/or folders with the .gitignore rules. Put node_modules in the .gitignore and pack will ommit the whole directory.

Example

const { pack, unpack } = require('@nexssp/packunpack');
const package = path.resolve("../mypack.tar.gz");

pack(["myfolderOne","myfolder2","file1","file2","folderX",...], package)

unpack(package, "/tmp/") // extract files to the tmp folder

Quick shell example

node -e "const {pack}= require('./src');pack('.gitignore','myf.tar.gz',{ force : true })"
node -e "const {pack}= require('./src');unpack('myf.tar.gz','../x')"

Formats

• tar.gz - for now only tar/gz
