Why not cross-zip?

cross-zip-cli (based on cross-zip) has inconsistent behaviors on different platforms.

$ cross-zip ./src src.zip

This will create a zip file contains a src folder on macOS/Linux (which based on Info-ZIP's zip utility).

> cross-zip .\src src.zip

But this command will create a zip file without a src folder on Windows (which based on .Net API).

Note: ya-zip will not create the redundant folder.
