Compression #12

Closed AaronV77 closed 5 years ago

AaronV77 commented 5 years ago

I've done some research in different types of compression for this project and I think supporting different types of compression would be nice.

The following algorithms: gunzip:

C: tar -czf some_file.tar.gz some_file.txt
D: tar -xzf some_file.tar.gz .

parallel gunzip:

C: tar -c -I pigz -f some_file.txt.tar.pgz some_file.txt
D: pigz -dc docs.tar.pgz | tar xf -

bzip2:

C: tar -cjf some_filetar.bz2 some_filet
D:bzip2 -dk some_file.tar.bz2

pbzip2:

C: tar -c -I pbzip2 -f some_file..tar.bz2 some_file.txt
D: tar xf docs.tar.bz2 -I pbzip2

I don't think I'm gonna support different types of different compression algorithms. There is only one place in the push.sh script that does the compression, and if you want a different algorithm then you can just change it there. Also the default gunzip tar compression has the best overall performance.
