Convert TGZ to ZIP
A compressed tarball has to be handed to a Windows user who should not have to unpack it twice.

What actually changes
TGZ and ZIP are not the same picture in two wrappers.
Both layers are handled: the gzip stream is decompressed and the TAR inside it is unpacked, then everything is repacked into a single ZIP with the directory structure intact.
Worth knowing first
TAR stores each file's permissions and any symbolic links, and ZIP cannot represent either. A source release converted this way extracts as a tree of plain files, so build scripts lose their executable bit and any symlinked paths become duplicated real files.
Questions
TGZ to ZIP, answered
Is TGZ the same as .tar.gz?
Yes, the same file with a shortened extension, from the era of eight character filenames.
Will the ZIP be larger?
Usually, because gzip compresses the whole TAR stream as one unit while ZIP compresses each file separately.
