In this short article we would like to show how to extract *.tar.gz file using Linux Command Line.
Quick soution:
tar -xzvf /path/to/file.tar.gz

reports/2020-01/log.2.txt
reports/2020-01/log.3.txt
reports/2020-01/log.4.txt
reports/2020-01/users/log.1.txt
reports/2020-01/users/log.2.txt

Extracting only specific paths
By adding next parameter we are able to specify the path, that we want to extract only.

Output:
reports/2020-01/users/log.1.txt
reports/2020-01/users/log.2.txt
