What is Tardy FOR MAC?

Tardy

Tardy is a handy, free command-line app that helps you manage file headers in tar(1) archive files. If you're getting ready to share your sources on the internet, this tool makes sure you don’t accidentally include any info about your development setup in those tar(1) files.

Why Use Tardy?

With Tardy, you can easily give your tar files a little makeover before putting them online. It’s all about removing any traces of your development environment without adding anything extra that could confuse others!

Cool Features of Tardy

One super cool feature is the option to add a prefix to the filenames inside the tar(1) file. For example, you might want to use a dot (.) prefix if your tar(1) file has absolute paths and you need to extract files with relative paths. This keeps everything neat and tidy.

Edit Your Tar Files Like a Pro

Tardy lets you change some key details about files after they've been added to the tar file. Here are some things you can do:

• Change the file owner (either by number or name).


• Change the file group (also by number or name).


• Add a directory prefix (like a dot).


• Adjust file permissions (for example, from 600 to 644).

This is super useful because all these changes will apply to every file in the archive.
