plugins/universalarchive/README.md

+# universalarchive plugin
+
+Lets you compress files by a command `ua <format> <files>`, supporting various
+compression formats (e.g. 7z, tar.gz, lzma, ...).
+
+To enable it, add `universalarchive` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
+
+```zsh
+plugins=(... universalarchive)
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Run `ua <format> <files>` to compress `<files>` into an archive file using `<format>`.
+For example:
+
+```sh
+ua xz *.html
+```
+
+this command will compress all `.html` files in directory `folder` into `folder.xz`.
+
+This plugin saves you from having to remember which command line arguments compress a file.
+
