func main(){

    zipWriter,_ := writer.New("MyFiles.zip")
    
    //add a single file
    zipWriter.AddFile("path-to-file/file1.txt","file1.txt")
    
    //add a single file, infer name from path
    zipWriter.AddFile("path-to-file/file2.txt","")
    
    //add a folder
    zipWriter.AddFolder("path-to-folder/FolderOne","FolderOne")
