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
回答1:
Install UnxUtils - it's a set of GNU utilities ported to Windows, sort of like Cygwin but they also work outside the Cygwin environment.
回答2:
The method I've used to solve this is to install Cygwin then place the path to the bin directory in the PATH variable.

9 years later (2019), a more modern option is to uncompress the latest Git for Windows (like PortableGit-2.17.0-64-bit.7z.exe).
It comes with 250+ linux command compiled for Windows, including tar and gzip.
No Cygwin needed.
But an even more recent option is the Command Line in Windows 10 version 1803: it includes a native tar and curl, right from your regular CMD.
(not gzip though). See announcement.
C:\Users\vonc>C:\Windows\System32\tar.exe --version
bsdtar 3.3.2 - libarchive 3.3.2 zlib/1.2.5.f-ipp
Nothing to install!
