  3. Example to Create tar.gz file Let us look at a few examples to create tar.gz file Here's the command to create tar.gz file (e.g sales_data.tar.gz) from a single file (e.g /home/ubuntu/sales_data.txt) $ tar -cvzf sales_data.tar.gz /home/ubuntu/sales_data.txt First tar command will create the archive .tar file and then compress it to create .tar.gz file. That is why you see 2 file extensions in a tarball.
