    tar -xvf filename

    the hardest for me is actually using ln -s, keep forgetting if source should come first or later lol

    It's been a long time since I had such a large grin on my face to a repost. It's just a great strip! :D But now that I think about it.. I'm pretty sure it was CSS last time

    @TuguMonas - that was hard for me too, until I realized the -s can mean source .

    eXtract Ze File is how I remember it. Quite eazy. Please no powershel. That thing eats time like nothing else I've seen.

    @hjk101 that's a good one. Personally I use tar -xzvf to extract files.

    @wolt Shure but as Create Ze File is the most common way to create tarballs I don't see the problem. I can't even remember when I had to use j (that letter is just illogical) or no compression at all.
    I do run into plain gzipped files though (like .sql.gz).

    Basically in practice the unzipping option is not all that optional. Even when you are technically right of course.

    @jurbz as the v is consistently used as verbose in most commands I don't have to remember it. Mostly only use it when extracting specific parts.

    @Mislead "display: flex;" on the surrounding element and
    "align-self: center;" should do it, no? ^^
