Thank you, I still don't understand.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I usually just use tar -xvf {file}
-- I like the verbosity when extracting just so I know it actually is doing things.
^r tar
and adjust as needed. Got it
Just add -a for auto compression.
tar xafv
every time, works like a charm.
i leave off the dash ;)
I personally just use tldr
to figure out how it's done.
I didn't know about auto-compress, thanks!
I'll keep using TLDR, best cli command ever.
I just have pack
and extract
functions in my shell RC files that look at file extensions and use the proper tool with proper arguments.
Wrote them 10 years ago and they've worked flawlessly ever since!
I would also recommend -v for verbose and -z when compressing for gzip
What does --auto-compress do?
Auto compress will use gzip if the file ends with .gz, bzip if it ends with .bz, and so on without mentioning -z
My tar
command is tldr tar
then ctrl + c
/ ctrl + v
tar
, please eXtract the Vucking File!
tar -xvf tarbomb.tar
.
Check out atool
daily-standup.png eh... :)
Who is taking pics of the standup.. :)
That looks really cool. And finally a guide that knows -z
is not necessary all the time.
