xevrion/hatchzip

Developer tools · Rust

+182stars on 2026-10-24 · UTC

Tool for extracting huge archives in place: the archive shrinks as files are extracted, so only space for the output is needed. Supports ZIP, 7z, tar and split archives, crash-safe.

Useful for
  • Extract a 180 GB archive on a disk without room for both archive and output
  • Check with hatchzip check whether extraction will fit before starting
  • Resume an interrupted extraction after a crash without losing extracted files
