# universalarchive plugin Lets you compress files by a command `ua <format> <files>`, supporting various compression formats (e.g. 7z, tar.gz, lzma, ...). To enable it, add `universalarchive` to the plugins array in your zshrc file: ```zsh plugins=(... universalarchive) ``` ## Usage Run `ua <format> <files>` to compress `<files>` into an archive file using `<format>`. For example: ```sh ua xz *.html ``` this command will compress all `.html` files in directory `folder` into `folder.xz`. This plugin saves you from having to remember which command line arguments compress a file. ## Supported compression formats | Extension | Description | |:-----------------|:-------------------------------| | `7z` | 7zip file | | `bz2` | Bzip2 file | | `gz` | Gzip file | | `lzma` | LZMA archive | | `lzo` | LZO archive | | `rar` | WinRAR archive | | `tar` | Tarball | | `tbz`/`tar.bz2` | Tarball with bzip2 compression | | `tgz`/`tar.gz` | Tarball with gzip compression | | `tlz`/`tar.lzma` | Tarball with lzma compression | | `txz`/`tar.xz` | Tarball with lzma2 compression | | `tZ`/`tar.Z` | Tarball with LZW compression | | `xz` | LZMA2 archive | | `Z` | Z archive (LZW) | | `zip` | Zip archive | | `zst` | Zstd archive | See [list of archive formats](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_archive_formats) for more information regarding the archive formats.
