Usage

Build from Source

git clone https://github.com/jarjee/wpress-extract
cd wpress-extract
make build

Extract Archives

# Extract a wpress file
./bin/wpress-extract -input your-migration.wpress

# Specify custom output directory
./bin/wpress-extract -input your-migration.wpress -out ./output-dir

# Force overwrite existing directory
./bin/wpress-extract -input your-migration.wpress -force

The command creates a new directory with the same name (e.g. your-migration/) where it extracts the archive contents.

Compress Archives

# Compress a folder to a wpress file
./bin/wpress-extract -mode compress -input your-migration/

# Specify custom output file
./bin/wpress-extract -mode compress -input your-migration/ -out my-migration.wpress

# Force overwrite existing wpress file
./bin/wpress-extract -mode compress -input your-migration/ -out my-migration.wpress -force

Options

Option	Description
-input <file>	Path to the input .wpress file (required, can also be provided as positional argument)
-out <dir>	Define an alternate directory where the archive should be extracted to.
-force	Skip the check if the output directory exists and override the content in it.
-mode <mode>	Operation mode: extract (default) or compress
-help	Show help message

• Note: Users can also drag-and-drop files onto the executable instead of using -input
