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.

Just add -a for auto compression.
tar xafv
every time, works like a charm.
I didn't know about auto-compress, thanks!
I personally just use tldr
to figure out how it's done.
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!
My tar
command is tldr tar
then ctrl + c
/ ctrl + v
I just use atool (archive tool) instead. It works the same for any common compression format (tar, gzip, zip, 7zip, rar, etc) and comes with handy aliases like apack
and aunpack
obsoleting the need to memorize options.
I would also recommend -v for verbose and -z when compressing for gzip
What does --auto-compress do?
I'll keep using TLDR, best cli command ever.

Who is taking pics of the standup.. :)
