2013 - a year in which you stop guessing tar flags

Looks familiar?

Worry no more! Use extract and prosper!

$ extract [FILES]

Supported extensions

The script currently supports:

• tar.xz
• tar.bz
• tar.bz2
• tar.gz

Installation

First method

Place it in your $PATH.

Second method

Do you trust me? You should, I'm a nice guy.

$ curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/shime/5908634/raw/install | bash -e

If you get curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 462), it means you don't have write permissions to /usr/local/bin.

This will make it go away:

$ curl -fsSL https://gist.github.com/shime/5908634/raw/install | sudo\
  bash -e

Enjoy!
