You just need to say what you want to do as an angry German:

xtract ze files.
compress ze Files.

Never forgot it since I read that.

@Andi_H @jpmens @jschauma iirc these days you don't even need the ze

if you're compressing, a lets tar automatically figure out the format based on the file extension

and if you're decompressing, it will figure out the format by itself

@Andi_H @jpmens @jschauma I just learned this the other week πŸ˜… but too late for me because I learned the flags meaning and that -f needs an additional argument. Took me mere 15 years to memorize

- Extract, verify, zip with file
- Compress, verify, zip with file

Verify no matter what otherwise my mnemonic breaks. I also never use barely anything else without reading the man page 😭
