How do I uncompress a .txt.gz file in mac?
I already tried unzip file.txt.gz but it says it cannot find zipfile directory in one of file.txt.gz or file.txt.gz.zip, and cannot find file.txt.gz.ZIP, period.

To open (unzip) a . gz file, right-click on the file you want to decompress and select “Extract”. Windows users need to install additional software such as 7zip to open . gz files.
An Easier Way (on macOS) For those that don't like using a terminal, you'll be delighted to hear that macOS can open tar and tar. gz files by default with the Archive Utility. Just double click on the file, and it will extract.
Just use zcat to see content without extraction. From the manual: zcat is identical to gunzip -c . (On some systems, zcat may be installed as gzcat to preserve the original link to compress .)
gunzip file.txt.gz in Terminal.
