Tarballing without any fuzz

Ok.. Here's a quickie.

> you get a tarball from github or some shit

> You: how extract? (insert confused oonga boonga here)

Dont be that guy!

# This is the actual command

			
				# Extracting a tarball 

				tar xzf file.tar 

				# Creating a tarball 

				tar czf file.tar Folder

# This is how you remember (by becoming Ze German)

			
				# Extracting a tarball 

				# tar Xtract Ze File file.tar 

				ie; 

				tar xzf file.tar 

			 # Creating a tarball 

			 # tar Create Ze File file.tar 

			 tar czf file.tar Folder

If you want the verbose output as well, which you always want to have, the thing becomes

			
				# Extracting a tarball 

				# tar Xtract Ze Vucking File file.tar 

				ie; 

				tar xzvf file.tar 

			 # Creating a tarball 

			 # tar Create Ze Vucking File file.tar 

			 tar czvf file.tar Folder

Now open tarballs without doing tar --help
