Tarball extractor bash script "Dancepill"
Dancepill is a fast extract script for Bash.
The problemYou want to extract directory fast. Using midnight commander or other extraction tools is very slow. Use dancepill, in your
.bashrc do:
source path/to/your/git/clone/eLogout or source it in your current terminal and start extracting:
e tarball.tar.gz
e tarball.tar.bzip2
e tarball.xz
e tarball.zip
e whateverPlease note the script introduces function "e"; stands for "extract" ;-)
Additional featuresIf the archive does not contain only one file or directory, dancepill will create an
extra directory for you. No more extracted
junk in the current directory!
