It's hard to remember all those linux commands

1.to exclude a directory from svn control
svn propset svn:ignore '*' dir_name/

Quick Start: Here we’l present quick start examples explained.

Create linux tar gz (Gzip) archive

tar -czvf myarchive.tgz mydirectory/

We use the -t option to create an linux tar archive
-c, –create        ​​        ​​      createanew archive

Note that .tgz is the same thing as .tar.gz

Create linux simple tar archive (withouth compresion)

tar -cvf myarchive.tar mydirectory/

Extracting linux tar archive:

Extract linux tar gz (Gzip) archive
tar -xzvf mystuff.tgz

Extract linux simple tar archive
tar -xvf mystuff.tar

We use -x to extract the files form the tar archive
-x, –extract, –get    extract files from an archive

And now let us shortly explain this command

Usage: tar [OPTION]… [FILE]…

Let us check the option used in this example

-c, –create      ​​        ​​        ​​createanew archive
-z, –gzip, –ungzip      ​​  filterthearchive through gzip
-v, –verbose      ​​        ​​     verboselylistfiles processed
-f, –file=ARCHIVE     ​​     usearchivefile or device ARCHIVE
