I use the command line every day, but can't be bothered with all the compression options of tar and company.

zip -r thing.zip things/ and unzip thing.zip are temptingly more straightforward.

Need more compression? zip -r -9 thing.zip things/. Need a faster option? Use a smaller digit.

tar czf thing.tgz things/
tar xzf thing.tgz

tar xf things.tar.gz/bz2/etc Should be enough to extract. It can usually figure out the compression automatically.
