How can I send over the files from Linux to Mac?

Help

I have a Godot 4.3 project to send to my teammate. I’m on Linux and he’s on Mac. I zipped the file and emailed it to him but he couldn’t decompress it (zip isn’t supported with mac, right?) How can I send the files over?

A zip should work as macos has native support for it: Zip and unzip files and folders on Mac - Apple Support

But ideally you’d setup a VCS (version control system) and give access to your teammate.

I have a bit of an odd use case so I’m not using Git, but thanks!

tar works as well:

# create
tar zcvf archive.tgz path/to/project/dir

# extract

tar zxvf archive.tgz

The arguments:

z - compress with gzip
c - create archvie
x - extract archive
v - verbose
f - archive file

Both Linux and MacOS have tar as well as zip. I personally prefer tar because when going from Mac to Linux it’s somewhat easier to stop it from junking up the archive with extended attributes and .DS_Store files.
