Unpacking

NAME:
   stargazer unpack - Unpacks files from a STAR file

   stargazer unpack [command options] [arguments...]

OPTIONS:
   --input value, -i value   Path to STAR file
   --output value, -o value  Path to output directory. Defaults to '<input file without .star>_extracted'

If no output directory is given, the file is extracted to the file name minus the extension plus "_extracted" ( e.g. xPackmanJr_0.105.star -> xPackmanJr_0.105_extracted). Same goes for packing (it will append _packed.star).

Packing

NOTE: The correct order of the files is not implemented yet and there are many unknowns! See issue #1.

NAME:
   stargazer pack - Pack a folder into a STAR file

OPTIONS:
   --input value, -i value   Path to a folder
   --output value, -o value  Output path of the STAR file. Defaults to '<input folder>_packed.star'

If no output STAR file is given, the file will be created in the same directory as the stargazer binary with the name of the folder plus _packed.star.
