I use atool (https://www.nongnu.org/atool/ https://www.nongnu.org/atool/) for unpacking random archives - it abstracts away all formats including zip/rar/7z, compression and also guarantees that nothing is ever extracted into $CWD.
- linsomniac 5y agoGotta check that out, thanks for the tip!
- iudqnolq 5y agoI use `unp` for the same thing. `-u` extracts into a directory.
- ydant 5y agoSince unp is a stock ticker, it's a little harder to find: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/unp https://github.com/mitsuhiko/unp Looks like it might be in standard Ubuntu repositories: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/unp.1.html https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/unp.1.html
- em-bee 5y agoi use unar/lsar https://theunarchiver.com/command-line https://theunarchiver.com/command-line https://github.com/MacPaw/XADMaster https://github.com/MacPaw/XADMaster in difference to unp and atool, unar does not depend on other tools to unpack the actual archive
