I need to make a .tar.gz out of some directory.
Anyone knows any example code of this?

A combined tar and gzip will probably be better:
The “z” flag works with gzip, to either create a tar/gzipped archive:
tar -czvf archive.tgz files/
…or decompress a tar/gzipped archive:
tar -xzvf archive.tgz

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/zlib/rdoc/index.html might be
helpful.

Dont judge those who try and fail, judge those who fail to try…

I was thinking about using Ruby to do this.

Just for the record:
Solution for making a tar.gzip might just be these two libs/modules or
Ruby:
Arhive::Tar::Minitar (http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruwiki/) and Zlib
library.
Although I didn’t find any good examples for making this. When I do
start
coding this, I’ll post back some code here…
