The correct expression is -x '*.git*', so the full command should be:

 

zip -r bitvolution.zip ./bitvolution -x '*.git*'

An explanation from http://selfsolved.com/problems/zip-command-exclude-svn-director:The correct incantation is

zip -9 -r --exclude=*.svn* foo.zip [directory-to-compress]


You can also add a--exclude=*.DS_Store* to exclude the annoying Mac OS X directory display metadata files.Notice that the expression passed to --exclude is using the entire original relative directory path as the original string to match against. So .svn/* by itself doesn’t work; the wildcard character in front ensures that it matches .svn directories anywhere in the directory tree.
