How to extract files from a tar.gz

Catégorie : Tips and tricks, Linux — Charles Collier @ 1:47 pm

usually people do:
$ cd backup/2007/02
$ tar -zxvf data.tar.gz

you can simply do:
tar -zxvf -C backup/2007/02 data.tar.gz

or even do it better:
cd backup/2007/02 && tar -zxvf data.tar.gz

the best way:
cd backup/2007/02 || mkdir -p backup/2007/02 && tar -zxvf data.tar.gz
