Extract only one subdirectory and all its sub-content:

tar -xvzf my-archive.tar.gz --wildcards "./directory/subdirectory*"

Create a .tar.gz file:
```
tar cvzf file.tar.gz ./subfolder
```
Extract ./path/in/archive* subfolder content from all .tar.bz2 archives available in the current folder. Place the extracted content of each archive in a folder prefixed with the content- string:
```
for ARCHIVE in `ls *.tar.bz2`; do DEST_FOLDER=content-`echo $ARCHIVE | cut -d '.' -f 1`; mkdir $DEST_FOLDER; tar -C $DEST_FOLDER -xvjf $ARCHIVE --wildcards "./path/in/archive*"; done
```
Extract all .gz files in the current folder:
```
gunzip ./*.gz
```
Extract .tar.bz2 file:
```
tar xvjf ./file.tar.bz2
```
Check a .bz2 file integrity:
```
bzip2 --test ./file.bz2
```
Create a .zip archive of current directory, including all sub-dirs:
```
zip -r archive.zip ./*
```
Create a 7-Zip archive (thanks to p7zip) of a folder, including all sub-directories:
```
7za a archive.7z ./folder
```
Do the same as above, but split the archive in 50 Mib volumes:
```
7za a -v50m archive.7z ./folder
```

Convert .tar.gz file to .tar.bz2 file:

gzip -dc archive.tar.gz | bzip2 > archive.tar.bz2
