minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•6 months agoYou don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•6 months agoYou don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
minus-squareEpheralinkfedilink6•6 months agoYeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•6 months agoPer https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it’s been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years…

minus-squareCaptainBasculinlinkfedilink8•6 months agoman tar you never said I can’t run a command before it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•6 months agoThe Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar So I don’t need to remember strange flags
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•6 months agoI use zsh and love the fish autocomplete so I use this: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions Also have fzf for ctrl + r to fuzzy find previous commands. I believe it comes with oh-my-zsh, just has to be enabled in plugins and itjustworks™
