srcpack

srcpack is a blazing fast CLI tool to pack source code into a ZIP file, automatically respecting .gitignore rules.

It helps you back up or share your code without manually excluding node_modules, target, or .git folders.

Installation

cargo install srcpack

Usage

Run inside your project directory:

srcpack

Options

# Pack a specific directory

srcpack path/to/project


# Specify output filename

srcpack --output my-backup.zip


# Manually exclude specific patterns (in addition to .gitignore)

srcpack --exclude "*.mp4" --exclude "secrets/"


# Compression Levels

srcpack --store   # Store only (0 compression, fastest)

srcpack --fast    # Fast compression

srcpack --best    # Best compression (smallest size, slower)


# Analyze mode: Dry run to list files without zipping

srcpack --dry-run


# Analyze mode + Top files: Find the largest space consumers

srcpack --dry-run --top 20
