Linux

OMG always assumed that -c always stands for "compress" and I always placed .gz at the end to remember to place -x when extracting

Who is taking pics of the standup.. :)

I always use tldr for these things, super handy to have.

So a serious question from someone who can't remember console commands ever despite using them constantly.

Why are so many linux CLI commands set up with defaults that no one ever uses? Like if you pretty much always need -f, -v is often used, and --auto-compress is needed to recognize type by extension. Why aren't those the defaults to just using tar?

A lot of applications I find are like this too, they don't come with defaults that work or that anyone would ever use.

That looks really cool. And finally a guide that knows -z is not necessary all the time.

Or -I 'compress-command' -cf ... if not supported.

Check out atool

Don't you have to specify the compression algorithm when extracting? I always use tar -xzf for gzip files and if I remove -z it just fails.

great, now how do I use it together with the 'feather' command?

Do more like this (・へ・)

tar is just the worst shell command in existence. Why do people still bother with it?
