How to archive only a folder, without a path?

Question

Zip

There is a command that archives a folder.

tar -P -zcvf folder.tar.gz /tmp/my_folder/other/other2

But the trouble is that the archive is obtained with subfolders and not just the one that I need.
For example, in the example, it turned out that in the other2 archive, the folder is still in 3 parent folders, and I need that after unpacking the archive, only the other2 folder should be there.
ps: I can't just cd into a folder, since it's all done in a python script.

Answer 1

tar -P -zcvf folder.tar.gz -C /tmp/my_folder/other/ other2
