They are very simple for general use, but could easily be integrated into the OP's more specific question contents using the the techniques in the accepted answer and helpful comments above. These have been tested with Ubuntu 18.04.4.
The question title for this is simply "Compress a folder with tar?" Since this title is very general, but the question and answer are much more specific, and due to the very large number of views this question has attracted, I felt it would be beneficial to add an up-to-date list of examples of both archiving/compressing and extracting/uncompressing, with various commonly used compression algorithms. Examples for Most Common Compression Algorithms
