You can unpack a .tar.gz file into the current directory like this:

tar -xzvf archive.tar.gz

The options used are

-x
: Extract

-z
: Unzip

-f
: Process a file input

-v
: Be verbose, i.e. print each extracted file

Side notes:

The dash is optional (tar xzvf ... works as well).
For .tar.bz2 archives, use j instead of z (tar xjvf ...`)
In order to create a *.tar.gz archive, use -c flag instead of -x flag.
The order of parameters matters.
