tar.gz to compress a directory in linux and then decompress it

a pretty common way to zip up contents in a directory into one (or technically two) archive(s).

Add to tar.gz

This will add the directory and all sub directories into the archive called the-archive-name.tar.gz from the directory the-directory you can add a full path to this if needed.

tar -zcvf the-archive-name.tar.gz the-directory

Un Compressing

This is the code to restore the files from the archive. This one will extract it to the current directory.

tar -zxvf the-archive-name.tar.gz

You can also add a target directory to uncompress to like the following

tar -zxvf the-archive-name.tar.gz my-target-directory

In this case my anchor this week becomes driving almost 2hrs outside of Atlanta to one of my favorite hard core gyms in the world.. MetroFlex aka The Dungeon. The gym owners turn the heat way up so it becomes a fun sweat box and the gym members just watch from afar and leave me alone. I happily drive myself long distances to find MY ANCHOR. Our anchor allows us to have balance, focus and be as productive as possible. And if you're in the middle of a heavy set and your headphones start to fall off your head, like mine did here.. well.. f*ck the headphones. Let em break and fall. You can always get a new pair, but the iron ain't ever gonna lift itself.
