What is TAR.GZ (Tarball compressed with Gzip)?
TAR.GZ is a compressed archive format that combines the TAR (Tape Archive) format with the Gzip compression algorithm. The .tar.gz extension refers to a TAR archive file that has been compressed using Gzip for efficient storage or transmission.
The TAR format collects multiple files and directories into a single file without compression, while Gzip applies compression to reduce the file size, making it more suitable for transferring over the internet or storing large sets of files.
How to open TAR.GZ?
TAR.GZ files can be opened with various software applications depending on your operating system:
- On Linux and macOS, use the built-in `tar` command-line utility to extract the files. For example: `tar -xzvf file.tar.gz`.
- On Windows, you can use tools like 7-Zip or WinRAR to extract TAR.GZ files.
- On macOS, you can also use Finder to open TAR.GZ files by double-clicking them.
TAR.GZ is Developed by: GNU Project (TAR), Jean-Loup Gailly (Gzip)
