Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck

I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics--zip and unzip--and that has made it easy for me. But I've been stuck on those.

Extract anything:

tar xf <archive_file>

Create a tbz2 archive:

tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>

(And tossing in a -v is pretty universal, if that's your thing.)

Some day, instead of commenting on a ~~reddit~~ Lemmy post, I think I'll Google how to tell it to use .xz.

Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It's just capital -J instead of lower-case -j! That's easy enough to remember, I guess.

Stay by the phone always. We may need you to defuse a bomb someday.

Never thought I'd learn how to use tar on a meme post.
