Unzip and Compress .gz, .tar.gz, and .zip by console in Linux
.Tar files:
Package: tar -cvf package.tar / dir / a / package /
Unpack: tar -xvf package.tar
The TAR file format is common on Linux and Unix systems, but only to store data, not compress it.
.Gz files:
Compress: gzip -9 file.txt.gz
Decompress: gzip -d file.txt.gz
With this command we will only compress an already packaged or regular file
.Zip files:
Compress: zip file.zip folder
Decompress: unzip archivo.zip
.Tar.gz files:
Compress: tar -czvf packed-compressed.tar.gz / folder / to / pack-compress /
Decompress: tar -xzvf file.tar.gz
