macOS Un .tar.gz ing a file using command line

[Eraserhead]

Hello

Does anyone know how to un .tar.gz a file using the command line, unfortunately I am not at my Mac atm, and when accessing it remotely only have command line access.

Thanks

you can shave off the v if you don't want to see the file listing as well.
