Marc Cornellà 49d34d00cd fix(extract): fix conflict if compressed file has a folder of the same name This change fixes the case where the compressed file (e.g. tools.tgz) only contains a folder with the same name (e.g. tools) in its root folder. tools.tgz: \|- tools \|- fileA.txt \|- fileB.txt \- fileC.txt In that case, the "smart" folder creation mechanism will extract the files in a folder "tools", and this extraction folder will contain a single folder with the same name. Before this fix, the tool would try to move out the inside folder to the parent one, but there would already be a folder named "tools", so it would generate a conflict. This change first renames the inside folder to a random string, and only then it is moved outside and the old extraction folder is deleted.		2023-04-06 21:06:16 +02:00

extract plugin

This plugin defines a function called extract that extracts the archive file you pass it, and it supports a wide variety of archive filetypes.

This way you don't have to know what specific command extracts a file, you just do extract <filename> and the function takes care of the rest.

To use it, add extract to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

plugins=(... extract)
