Aug 8, 2019 at 7:16 comment added Mattia72 (1) You've right (2) really? Which is the good one? (3) this is the point: the non GNU version of tar (eg. on Unix), has no -z (4) I would use probably && in a script, but I think this is not necessary in a "one liner"
Aug 6, 2019 at 17:28 comment added G-Man Says 'Reinstate Monica' (1) The question doesn’t say anything about rm; why do you include it in your answer? (2) Your answer archives the wrong directory. (3) Why have you changed tar -z to tar | gzip? (4) As long as you’re going to use &&, you should probably use && after the pushd, too.
