brew install betty

There's an awesome English/command line interface called [Betty][1]. It allows you to run commands like `betty unarchive something.tar.gz to somedir`, which is reminiscent of [a relevant XKCD][2]. A full list of things to do (but not commands!) can be found in the readme.md. Currently, it's in it's very early development stages.
