add tar/gzip to windows command line

As the title says - anyone know of a method to add tar/gzip to the command line in Windows? I've installed Cygwin - but don't know if I have to add something to the PATH env variable to get tar as a cmd option

Solution

  • Install UnxUtils - it's a set of GNU utilities ported to Windows, sort of like Cygwin but they also work outside the Cygwin environment.
