To extract just the directory structure: To extract just the directory structure: | Approach

| Approach | Command | When to use | |----------|---------|--------------| | | unzip archive.zip stage/components/* | Only if local directory stage/components/ exists (not typical). | | Quoted with trailing slash | unzip archive.zip "stage/components/*" | Correct if stage/components/ is exactly the directory inside zip. | | Extract all and filter | unzip archive.zip -d temp/ && cp temp/stage/components/* ./ | Works always, less elegant. | | Use --wildcards (some unzip versions) | unzip -qq archive.zip --wildcards "stage/components/*" | Older unzip (e.g., Info‑ZIP) requires this flag. | | Match without directory prefix | unzip archive.zip "*/components/*" | If root directory name varies. | | | Use --wildcards (some unzip versions) |
