One Liner to Decompress tar.gz Files

For some reason I can never seem to remember this one liner so I generally have to look it up, or decompress the gzip files, then untar. So I’m documenting it here for my own future reference. (Yeah, Linux experts, keep laughing at me!)
tar xzvf my_dir.tar.gz my_dir

  I reserve the right and often delete comments that are not related to the post. This used to be a "nofollow free" zone, but there were far too any blatant SEO comment just for the self-serving sake of SEO. I got tired of reading and deleting all these useless comments. Many still remain. Any similar links including links to adult-oriented or gambling sites will be marked as spam. If you are marked as spam you may have a hard time getting on any blog that utilizes Akismet, so comment with care!
