> A tool for archiving files from the commandline
In my day job I build a lot of Joomla! extension which need to zipped before being installed. What sucks is that my computer runs on Windows and there's no simple way to archive files from the commandline. Node.js is great at building commandline utilities so I took a couple of hours from my boring PHP projects to create this module.
Winzip Zips, Tars, and Gzips files from the commandline.
npm install -g winzip
