Password protect zip file on mac OSX command line

October 25, 2020

Short reminder for myself on how to password protect a zip file on Mac OSX command line.

zip -er <zipname>.zip <file.txt or folder to zip>

This will prompt you for a password before zipping.

Tired of spending hours setting up a new development machine? I used to be, too—until I automated the entire process!

Now, I just run a single script, grab a coffee, and let my setup take care of itself.

Save 30+ hours configuring a new Mac or Windows (WSL) development environment.

Ensure consistency across all your machines.

Eliminate tedious setup and get coding faster!
