To create a tar.gz archive from a given folder you can use the following command
Bash: 
tar -zcvf tar-archive-name.tar.gz source-folder-name
This will compress the contents of source-folder-name to a tar.gz archive named tar-archive-name.tar.gz
To extract a tar.gz compressed archive you can use the following command
Bash: 
tar -zxvf tar-archive-name.tar.gz
This will extract the archive to the folder tar-archive-name.

To Preserve permissions:
Bash: 
tar -pcvzf tar-archive-name.tar.gz source-folder-name
Switch the ‘c’ flag to an ‘x’ to extract (uncompress).
Bash: 
tar -pxvzf tar-archive-name.tar.gz
