I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics--zip and unzip--and that has made it easy for me. But I've been stuck on those.
Extract anything:
tar xf <archive_file>
Create a tbz2 archive:
tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>
(And tossing in a -v
is pretty universal, if that's your thing.)
Some day, instead of commenting on a reddit Lemmy post, I think I'll Google how to tell it to use .xz
.
Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It's just capital -J
instead of lower-case -j
! That's easy enough to remember, I guess.
Stay by the phone always. We may need you to defuse a bomb someday.
Never thought I'd learn how to use tar
on a meme post.
Memes are one of the best source for Linux info 👍.
