Taking the mystery out of the "tar" command: Create, extract and compress archives easily | Bash #8

The "tar" command can sometimes seem a bit odd at fist. It has many one-character cryptic-looking arguments, such as "tar -czvf". But turns out they follow a very simple setup and besides those one-letter args the command is actually extremely straight-forward. Therefore I though "Taking the mystery out of tar" is a perfect title for one of my favorite command line commands that I use so often.
In this video you'll learn how to create and extract tar balls, you'll understand the difference between a mere tarball and one compressed with gzip and how to enable compression on your tar balls.
