Homebrew installs GNU tar as "gtar". On my M4 MacBook:

  $ which gtar
  gtar is /opt/homebrew/bin/gtar

[fastily]

Ive installed the gtar formula and aliased it to tar. Cant be bothered to memorize the differences between macOS tar and unix tar, especially when the latter is considered to be the de facto standard

> and unix tar

It's in the name: GNU's Not Unix.

But, ironically enough, MacOS _is_ Unix:
