Unix/Linux systems have excellent file compression utilities like gzip and gunzip to compress and decompress files efficiently, providing significant savings in file size.
Important to note that gzip replaces the original file with the compressed version, although it's advisable to create a backup copy before compressing.
Gunzip undoes the compression, restoring the original file, making it easy to work with compressed files efficiently.
Companion tools like zcat, zgrep, and zmore provide added functionality for working with compressed files without the need to fully uncompress them.
