What is a tar.gz file?
A TAR.GZ file is a combination of the TAR archive format and GZIP compression. First, files are bundled into a TAR archive, which preserves the directory structure and file metadata. Then, the TAR file is compressed using GZIP, significantly reducing its size. This format is commonly used in Unix and Linux environments for software distribution and backups.
TAR.GZ files are particularly popular because they offer the advantages of both archiving and compression in one format. By compressing the TAR file with GZIP, users can efficiently store or transmit large data sets while maintaining the integrity of the original file structure.
