Generate an Import-Ready ZIP File

Introduction

Catalyst enables you to directly import any project from a local directory without having to export it first. This means that you need not have an import-ready ZIP file already present in your local system to import a project.

You can generate an import-ready ZIP file in the standard format in an existing Catalyst project directory automatically, by executing this command. You can then provide the path to this ZIP file while importing the project. This saves you the effort from verifying if all files and sub-directories are present in the required format, and compressing each function folder or the client directory manually to prepare a source ZIP file to import.
