Functions

The extract function is a utility function that can extract files from a variety of compressed formats. To use the function, simply call it with the name of the compressed file(s) you want to extract, like so:

extract -v file1.tar.gz file2.zip

The gitpush function adds all changes to the git staging area, commits them with a message, pulls the latest changes from the remote repository, and pushes the changes to the remote repository.

The gitupdate function adds your SSH key to the ssh-agent, tests the connection to GitHub, and outputs a success message if the connection is established:
