The ZipFolders plugin is used to zip specified folders in your MkDocs project after the site build process. This can be helpful if you need to distribute or backup parts of your documentation.

Install the plugin using pip from PyPI:

pip install mkdocs-zip-folders

To use the ZipFolders plugin, you need to add it to your mkdocs.yml configuration file.

Here is a sample configuration:

plugins:
  - search
  - zip_folders:
      folders:
        - myCode
        - toShare
        - folderX/thisWillBeZipped
      hash_extension: ".zip.hash" # default extension
      debug: true # optional - default is false

• folders - A list of folders to zip. The folders are relative to the root of the MkDocs documentation project - docs_dir (default is docs).
• debug - Optional. If set to true, the plugin will print debug messages to the console. Default is false.
• hash_extension - The extension to use for hashing folders. Default is .zip.hash.

It is highly recommended to add the *.zip, *.zip.hash filses to your .gitignore file. This will prevent you from accidentally committing the zip files to your repository.

Zip files will be generated automatically after each build.
