How to add a directory to an archive in debian?

Question

bash

Good day. I'm trying to add a directory to an archive via a .sh script on debian. I do it like this:

zip -r /root/bc/jarmod/myjar.jar /root/bc/jarmod/javasoft/dir

But the /root folder and all subsequent ones are added to the archive. And it is necessary for me that the added directory began with dir and further. Tell me how to do this?

Answer 1

cd /root/bc/jarmod/javasoft && zip -r /root/bc/jarmod/myjar.jar dir
