gzip -d the file and it will be replaced with an uncompressed tar archive

Or many implementations of tar know how to pass things through gzip if
you give them the "z" option. So you would unpack it with

tar -xvzf filename

(if you used gzip ahead of time, then it is just tar -xvf filename)

ps -if you want to see what files are in an archive and where they
will go relative to the currect directory, replace the "x" with a "t"
