[Feature,flag suggest]direct unzip(unzip keep layout+keepallfiles) about eget HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm not sure I understand the desired behavior. If you want to extract every file in the archive, you can use

eget --all --file '*' [repo]

from eget.

here is an example(with:eget --all [repo] )
Extracted activitywatch/aw-server/pytz/zoneinfo/US/Pacific to X:\apps\Pacific
The ideal output path is at>activitywatch/aw-server/pytz/zoneinfo/US/Pacific
(keeping and creating all the folder* just as its packaged in the zip)

in this case:"activitywatch/aw-server/pytz/zoneinfo/US/" all recursive folders are gone,the server mix with other stuff.other timezone mix,app folder is gone,

some packaged* application releases are very sensitive to the layer,direct extraction into a flat *path is not the way.

Thus i propose to add a new flag

from eget.

after testing,i find:eget --all --file * [repo]
worked,the quote seems to throw:target '*' not found in archive

from eget.

will do pr to add example to readme.

from eget.

Although --all --file * is in the examples it is not clear why one would need to specify --file * when --all is... well supposed to extract all files. From experience with projects and co-workers, people will use --all, and wonder some time later why the tool didn't do what it was supposed to do. And then they blame the tools and want to replace it with another instead of realizing an acknowledging a mistake.

I just caught this unexpected behavior now while I'm trying out this nice tool (chezmoi does something similar while being a dotfile manager) and being very careful. But not everyone is.

So please update the documentation or at leas put a comment above said example that explains better the how and why of --all --file *.
