cli-tarHow do I use the tar command line in Windows 10?
The tar
command line utility is available for Windows 10 through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). To use it, you must first install WSL and then install a Linux distribution of your choice.
Once you have installed WSL, open a command prompt and type wsl
to enter the Linux environment. Then you can use the tar
command to create, extract, and view the contents of a tar file.
For example, to create a tar file called example.tar
from the folder myfiles
, you would use the following command:
tar -cf example.tar myfiles
This will create a tar file of the contents of the myfiles
folder. To extract the contents of the tar file, you would use the following command:
tar -xf example.tar
This will extract the contents of example.tar
into the current directory. To view the contents of the tar file without extracting it, you would use the following command:
tar -tf example.tar
This will list the contents of example.tar
.
