Show HN: Tzar, Easy compression and extraction for any compression format

I always forget how to compress or extract tar, zip, 7z files on linux. I felt it should be simpler, so I hacked a python CLI together that gives me a single interface for all compression/archival formats. You can extend it through it's configuration file and I'm adding new formats there as I need them.

I found the exact same issue! Here's a .bashrc snippet you can steal to extract from a multitude of files.

It doesn't quite have the number of features your library does and only supports extracting.

Someone on reddit shared these bash scripts that do almost everything my tool does.
