Use 7-zip? 7-zip.org – Pogrom

first you compress it to tar with 7-zip and then to gzip with 7-zip – Julietjulieta

You can easily do this with "Bash on Ubuntu on Windows" using cd /mnt/c/[path to folder to archive] and then tar -pczf archive.tar.gz * – Grazing

In Windows 10 you can use tar natively https://mcmap.net/q/275721/-unzip-tar-gz-in-windows – Inger

Answer 1

tar.gz file is just a tar file that's been gzipped. Both tar and gzip are available for windows.

If you like GUIs (Graphical user interface), 7zip can pack with both tar and gzip.

Vargo

the problem is that it cannot compress to .tar.gz in one go – Ventilation

In case it isn't clear, in 7zip you must first create the tar; it won't even show the option for Gzip if multiple files (or a folder) are selected. Reference: random-host.com/blog/creating-targz-file-7-zip – Thankyou

Can you please show how to do this on the command line? – Pytlik
