in ~/.bash_rc or ~/bash_aliases (or whatever is suitable for your distro)

Add for example

# Extract tar.gz
alias tarx=’tar xvzf’

Or name it anything you are sure you will remember :)

You don't need to provide 'my_dir' when extracting a tar archived file. You do that if you are creating a tar archive file such as: tar cvf my_dir.tar.gz my_dir1 my_dir2 Anyway, tar is a great tool for backup too. Yup.

I think that anymore I do not use it enough to really remember it. I consider myself pretty good with Linux and I still have to look that up when I need it.

You may have to put -xvzf on some systems and last argument my_dir is not really required. This works for tar.gz as well as tgz files. If you have tar + bz2 file, you can use xvjf -- somehow i always use xvzf and not xzvf. Wow, I can’t believe that!!
