GZIP

Gnu Zipped File

GZIP is a file archiving and compression tool associated with the .gz filename extension. The utility was first released in 1992 for the UNIX operating system, with the intention of replacing the 'compress' tool that comes bundled with UNIX. Today (2015) the tool exists as a standalone cross platform file archiver. Several archiving and compression utilities exist that support the .gz (otherwise known as gzip) format. The motivation behind the format and utility was to create a capable compression archiving tool that was unencumbered by patents of other compression algorithms that existed at the time, particularly those surrounding the LZW algorithm.
TGZ

Gzipped Tar File

The .gz filename extension refers to the GZIP file format and compression/decompression utility of the same name which was initially released in 1992. It is the extension given to files compressed using the gzip utility. Unlike other compression tools of the time, gzip was originally intended to be used as a tool to compress a single file as opposed to multiple files or entire directories compressed as a single archive. As a work around, multiple files can be archived using the TAR archive file format, then that single TAR archive would then be compressed using the GZIP format. This would give the file a filename extension of .tar.gz.
