Question

I want to gzip every file in a folder recursively and keep the original name and extension after compression.

I have tried sudo gzip -9 -r folder however now each file has an .gz extension added to the original such as 2852b65c1d8b.css.gz while I want to keep the name as 2852b65c1d8b.css for the gzipped file to upload to Amazon S3.

Using this does what you want:

find folder -type f -exec gzip -9 {} \; -exec mv {}.gz {} \;

The 1st exec gzip the files, the 2nd rename them.
