There’s gotta be a buncha tools that Clippy into the terminal to say “did you mean ____?” right? Including some new ones where they trained/fine-tuned a language model on man pages?
Interesting it’s not the most popular thing to use a GUI and use shortcuts for everything you want to do while still having the option to click through a menu or wizard for whatever you haven’t memorized. I suppose the power and speed of the command line are difficult to match if you introduce anything else, and if you spend time using a user interface that’s time you can’t spend honing your command line skills.
I use the command line every day, but can’t be bothered with all the compression options of tar and company.
zip -r thing.zip things/andunzip thing.zipare temptingly more straightforward.Need more compression?
zip -r -9 thing.zip things/. Need a faster option? Use a smaller digit.“yes i would love to
tar -xvjpfmy files”– statement dreamed up by the utterly insane
Present, I’m the
tar cvJfinsaneyes, and you still need zhe mnemonics

There’s
thefuck, but it hasn’t given me good suggestions.tar xf things.tar.gz/bz2/etc Should be enough to extract. It can usually figure out the compression automatically.
The problem with that is that it will not preserve flags and access rights.
