Here are the most practical commands to pack and unpack files in a console:
Unpacking
unrar -kb x filename.rar
unzip filename.zip
bunzip2 filename.bz2
tar xvf filename.tar
tar xvzf filename.tar.gz
Packing
tar cvzf targetfile.tar.gz /sourcedir
tar cvf targetfile.tar /sourcedir
When using really large files, for example when you clone a computer it pays to use a program that can use all your processor threads in parallel. pigz is a good choice for that.
