You don't need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.
You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
You don't need the z, it auto detects the compression
Yeah, I just tell our Linux newbies
tar xf, as in "extract file", and that seems to stick perfectly well.That's still kinda new. It didn't always do that.
Per https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it's been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years...
