minus-squareatx_aquarian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up19·7 months agoI 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.
