minus-square@jj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•26 days agoYou don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
minus-squareEpheralinkfedilink6•26 days agoYeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.
minus-square@jj4211@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink5•26 days agoPer https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it’s been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years…

minus-square@Waffelson@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•26 days agoThe Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar So I don’t need to remember strange flags
minus-square@naught@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink4•26 days 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.

minus-square@CaptainBasculin@lemmy.mllinkfedilink7•27 days agoman tar you never said I can’t run a command before it.

You don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
You don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
Yeah, I just tell our Linux newbies
tar xf
, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.
Per https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it’s been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years…
