Compress
How Compress directories
Unlike zip, gzip functions as a compression algorithm only.
Because of various reasons some of which hearken back to the era of tape drives, Unix uses a program named tar to archive data, which can then be compressed with a compression program like gzip, bzip2, 7zip, etc.
In order to "zip" a directory, the correct command would be:
tar -zcvf archive.tar.gz directory/
This will tell tar to c (create) an archive from the files in directory (tar is recursive by default), compress it using the z (gzip) algorithm, store the output as a f (file) named archive.tar.gz, and v(verbosely) list (on /dev/stderr so it doesn't affect piped commands) all the files it adds to the archive.
The tar command offers gzip support (via the -z flag) purely for your convenience. The gzipcommand/lib is completely separate.
The command above is effectively the same as:
tar -cv directory | gzip > archive.tar.gz
To decompress and unpack the archive into the current directory you would use:
tar -zxvf archive.tar.gz
That command is effectively the same as:
gunzip < archive.tar.gz | tar -xv
tar has many, many, MANY other options and uses as well; I heartily recommend reading through its manpage sometime.
tar -zcvf archive-name.tar.gz directory-name
Decompress
tar
tar xfv foo.tar.gz tar -xjf foo.tar.bz2 tar -xvJf foo.tar.xy tar -xvJf foo.tar.xz
bzip
bunzip2 foo.tar.bz2
zip
unzip foo.zip
gunzip
gunzip foo.log.1.gz # Decompress file and delete gz file gunzip -k foo.log.1.gz # Decompress file and preserve gz file gunzip -N foo.log.1.gz # Decompress file and preserve original timestamps and delete gz file
