Ubuntu – How to make tree list hidden files as well

command linetree

I'm using this package called tree to list sub directories and files in a given directory. It works fine except it doesn't list hidden files.

When I run tree in a folder it returns

├── Zodiac (2007)
│   └── Zodiac (2007).mkv
├── Zombieland (2009) H
│   └── Zombieland (2009) H.mkv
└── Zootopia (2016)
    ├── Zootopia (2016).mkv
    └── Zootopia (2016).srt

But it should've returned hidden files named .folder.png in each one of these folders.

Can I make it happen?

Use tree -a

$ man tree
-a     All files are printed.  By default tree does not print hidden files 
(those beginning with a dot `.').  
In no event does tree print the file system constructs 
`.' (current directory) and `..' (previous directory).

Ubuntu – Zip an archive without including parent directory

So if I understand correctly, you are trying to archive the files & folders in a particular folder but without including the root folder.

Example:

/test/test.txt
/test/test2.txt

where test.txt and test2.txt would be stored in the zip, but not /test/

You could cd into the /test/ directory then run something like,

zip -r filename.zip ./*

Which would create an archive in the same folder named filename.zip. Or if running it from outside the folder you could run,

zip -r test.zip test/*

The /* is the part that includes only the contents of the folder, instead of the entire folder.

Edit: OP wanted multiple zips, solution ended up being a bit of a hack, I am curious as to whether there is a better way of doing this.

for d in */ ; do base=$(basename "$d") ; cd $base ; zip -r $base * ; mv "${base}.zip" .. ; cd .. ; done;
