Quickly create tar.gz archive:

tar -cvzf tar_file_name.tar.gz ITEMS_TO_BE_COMPRESSED

ITEMS_TO_BE_COMPRESSED — can be single file, single folder, or group of files.

Quick uncompress:

tar -xvzf tar_file_name.tar.gz
# Uncompressing to different folder.
tar -xvzf tar_file_name.tar.gz -C ./path/for/uncompressed/content

./path/for/uncompressed/content should already exists
