  • Ouch - simple compression and decompression for your terminal

    archiver is also a very cool tool. I think its cli is somewhat similar to this.
  • Wormhole-gui 2.2.0 has been released
    4 projects | /r/golang | 15 Mar 2021
    The next major release, v2.2.0, is out now. Most notably, this release replaces mholt/archiver with a custom zip extractor for faster directory receives and smaller binaries, adds settings for controlling advanced wormhole client options and a lot of smaller bug fixes. This release also incorporates the initial support for building on Apple M1 computers (release binaries for that architecture are currently not available though).
