#17 - gzip and bzip2 on Linux CentOS 8

Learn how to compress the files or how to create zip files in Linux CentOS 8. File compression is a process of "packaging" a file (or files) to use less disk space. Compression software allows you to take many files and compress them into one file, which is smaller than the combined size of the originals.
In Linux, we can use gzip or bzip2 commands to compress the files. To unzip the compressed files or to get the original files back, we use gunzip and bunzip2 command.
