TIL to peek into zip archives

It is just a minute of googling, but I just learned it and I think it is worth sharing. Say you have data.zip, then you can:

  1. $ vim data.zip
  2. $ less data.zip
  3. or the not-so-fancy $ unzip -l data.zip The vim version is super fancy - you can even peek into different files in the archive there! (doesn't really work for images, but oh well, what can you do)
