Documentation

To show the documentation in your terminal, run

pantograph action zip

CLI

It is recommended to add the above action into your Pantfile, however sometimes you might want to run one-offs. To do so, you can run the following command from your terminal

pantograph run zip

To pass parameters, make use of the : symbol, for example

pantograph run zip parameter1:"value1" parameter2:"value2"

It's important to note that the CLI supports primitive types like integers, floats, booleans, and strings. Arrays can be passed as a comma delimited string (e.g. param:"1,2,3"). Hashes are not currently supported.

It is recommended to add all pantograph actions you use to your Pantfile.


Source code

This action, just like the rest of pantograph, is fully open source, view the source code on GitHub
