cli-tarHow can I use the CLI tar yarn command to compress files?
The tar yarn
command is a command-line tool that can be used to compress files. It takes two arguments: the source file or directory and the destination file or directory.
For example, to compress a file called example.txt
into a file called example.tar.gz
, you can use the following command:
tar -zcf example.tar.gz example.txt
The -z
flag tells tar to compress the file using gzip. The -c
flag tells tar to create a new archive. The -f
flag tells tar to use the specified file as the output archive.
You can also use the tar yarn
command to compress an entire directory. For example, to compress a directory called my_files
into a file called my_files.tar.gz
, you can use the following command:
tar -zcf my_files.tar.gz my_files
The output of the command will be a compressed file containing all the files in the my_files
directory.
