How to just zip entire project into an artifact?

I have a repo that doesn't require any build steps and we just need the entire project to be zipped, maintaining the original folder structure, for use with a webhook deploy. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? Do I need to do a zip command with a shell build script or is there another way?

Thanks!

   It's just:

   artifacts:
   - path: <Relative-path-to-directory>
   

   For example, if there is a Site folder in the root of my repo it is:

   artifacts:
   - path: Site

   Thanks for the quick response. That works for the subfolders but what if I want to zip the entire build folder? I tried ../myproject as the artifact path but that gave me an error "Only child items to the build folder /home/appveyor/projects/myproject are supported now"

   Then use 7z: https://www.appveyor.com/docs/packaging-artifacts/#packaging-multip...
