cli-tarHow do I create a tar.zip file in Unix?
Creating a tar.zip file in Unix is a two-step process that involves compressing the files with tar and then compressing the tar archive with gzip.
To create a tar.zip file, run the following command in the terminal:
tar -czvf <file_name>.tar.gz <directory_name>
This command will create a tar archive of the specified directory and then compress it with gzip.
The command has four parts:
tar
: The command to create an archive.-czvf
: Flags to tell tar to compress the archive with gzip and to create a file.<file_name>.tar.gz
: The name of the archive file.<directory_name>
: The directory to be archived.
For example, to create a tar.zip file of the my_directory
directory, run
tar -czvf my_archive.tar.gz my_directory
This will create a file called my_archive.tar.gz
containing the contents of the my_directory
directory.
