ouch: Compress files.
$ ouch compress ${filename1 filename2 ---} ${path-to-archive-zip}
try on your machine

The command "ouch compress ${filename1 filename2 ---} ${path-to-archive-zip}" is likely a command using the "ouch" tool to compress certain files into a specified ZIP archive.

Here's a breakdown of the components:

  • "ouch compress" is the command to invoke the compress functionality of the "ouch" tool.
  • "${filename1 filename2 ---}" represents the list of filenames (separated by spaces) that you want to compress. The "---" signifies that there can be more filenames in the list, but they are not explicitly shown.
  • "${path-to-archive-zip}" is the path or location where you want the resulting ZIP archive to be saved.

In summary, the command is compressing the specified files (filename1, filename2, etc.) into a ZIP archive at the provided path (path-to-archive-zip) using the "ouch" compression tool.
