cli-tarHow do I tar and gzip a folder in Linux?
The tar command is a great way to compress a folder in Linux. It creates a single file that contains all of the files and folders inside the folder you specified. To tar and gzip a folder in Linux, you can use the following command:
tar -zcvf <filename>.tar.gz <folder_name>This will create a <filename>.tar.gz file that contains the contents of the <folder_name>.
The parts of the command are as follows:
tar: The command to create the archive-zcvf: The flags used to create a gzipped tar archive<filename>.tar.gz: The name of the archive file to be created<folder_name>: The name of the folder to be compressed
