cli-tarHow do I convert a gzip file to a tar file?
Converting a gzip file to a tar file is a two-step process. First, you need to decompress the gzip file using the gunzip
command. Then, you can use the tar
command to create a tar file from the decompressed gzip file.
Example
gunzip my_file.gz
tar -cvf my_file.tar my_file
The gunzip
command decompresses the gzip file and stores it in the same directory as the original file. The tar
command creates a tar file from the decompressed gzip file.
Code explanation

: decompresses the gzip filetar -cvf
