minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•1 year agoThe Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar So I don’t need to remember strange flags
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•1 year 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. I believe it comes with oh-my-zsh, just has to be enabled in plugins and itjustworks™

minus-squareCaptainBasculinlinkfedilink8•1 year agoman tar you never said I can’t run a command before it.
minus-squarecaseyweedermanlinkfedilink4•1 year agoThat’s not going to stop me from getting confused every time I try!
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•1 year agoYou don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink8•1 year agoYou don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year agoPer https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it’s been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years…

minus-squareEpheralinkfedilink6•1 year agoYeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in “extract file”, and that seems to stick perfectly well.
Oblig. XKCD:
The Fish shell shows me just the past command with tar

Same. Also German btw 😄

That’s yet another great joke that GNU ruined.
without looking, what’s the flag to push over ssh with compression
scp
not compressed by default
man tar

tar eXtactZheVeckingFile
Me trying to decompress a .tar file
Joke’s on you, .tar isn’t compression
That’s not going to stop me from getting confused every time I try!
You don’t need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
You don’t need the z, it auto detects the compression
That’s still kinda new. It didn’t always do that.
