Archives
Free archive fixtures for compression, extraction, packaging, and upload checks.
Choose ZIP or 7Z for multi-file archives, TAR for packaging, or GZ for a gzip-compressed single stream.
Pick an archive by format
ZIP is the default extraction and upload fixture. GZ is a single-stream gzip object (not the same as .tar.gz). Use 7Z or TAR when your pipeline expects those containers specifically.
