Well I'm by far no expert but google is your best friend and using google I found this

Code

  rem Pick up each file in C:\Temp1\ with .out extension.
  for %%a in ("C:\temp1\*.out") do (

       rem Compress the file to a file with the same name but .gz extension is added.
       gzip -c %%a > %%a.gz

       rem Delete the .out file which has been already compressed.
       del /F /Q %%a
   )

I don't know if this helped that much or not but I hope it did  😁

Legit 2 seconds after this I saw you wanted bash not batch so i can't really help in that sense since I'm a noob when it comes to bash but found something that might help here
