A little trick I learned on here was to imagine yourself as a little evil man saying “Extract ze files!” in a German accent. Extract ze files >>> xzf.
Only works for tar.gz. Remember there’s also tar.xz, tar.bz, tar.bz2 and half have their own extractor flag. FUN. It’s usually J.
xaf(extract a file) auto-detects the format.xf, extract files, also auto-detects the format.That sounds a lot like Czech, “ze” means “from” if you translate it into English
Looks, not sounds. Ahoj!
