pear: a simple utility for listing file names inside archives (github.com)

I made a small utility for listing the file names inside an archive file, e.g. tar, zip, etc. This comes in handy when you download some software package using the command line but you aren't sure whether to extract it in its own folder because you don't know what the file structure inside is.

Usually git add .

It's much faster, easier and less error prone to go with the blacklist approach of the gitignore file IMO.
