Does anyone know a simple command to package and compress a file all in
one tar command instead of individually implementing each tar and gzip
commands.

Instead of using

tar -c something > something.tar
gzip something.tar > something.tar.gz

With decompression, you can use tar -zxvf and it does it all in one
swoop.
