    • Compress an Entire Directory or a Single File. Use the following command to compress an entire directory or a single file on Linux. It'll also compress every other directory inside a directory you specify — in other words, it works recursively.
    • Compress Multiple Directories or Files at Once. While tar is frequently used to compress a single directory, you could also use it to compress multiple directories, multiple individual files, or both.
    • Exclude Directories and Files. In some cases, you may wish to compress an entire directory, but not include certain files and directories. You can do so by appending an --exclude switch for each directory or file you want to exclude.
    • Use bzip2 Compression Instead. While gzip compression is most frequently used to create .tar.gz or .tgz files, tar also supports bzip2 compression. This allows you to create bzip2-compressed files, often named .tar.bz2, .tar.bz, or .tbz files.

    • Create a tarball. Earlier I mentioned the common file types associated with the tar command. This is perhaps the most basic. tar cvf output_tarball.tar source_directory.
    • Create a gzip tarball. Let’s try gzip compression while creating the tarball. christopher@linux-handbook:~$ tar cvzf doc.tar.gz ~/Documents. tar cvzf (create, verbose, g-zip, file-archive): it creates a new tar file named doc.tar.gz from all the files in ~/Documents.
    • Create a bz2 tarball. Say, you want to create a bz2 tarball. The steps are same as the previous one. You just need to change the option z (gzip) to j (bz2).
    • List the contents of a tarball. You can use the -t option (instead of -c) to view the contents of an archive file. This works the same whether the file is compressed or not.
