# set var A to whatever is before the .tar.gz
A=`basename $I .tar.gz`
# make a directory for the var A
mkdir $A
# copy file marking-guide to __
cp marking-guide ${A}/$A
# change directory to A

For each filename ending in .tar.gz (gzipped tar file)
for I in *.tar.gz; do

Filename without any path (including the .tar.gz)
A=`basename $I .tar.gz`
Make a directory with the same name as the file
mkdir $A
Copy something called marking-guide into the new directory with the same name as the .tar.gz file
cp marking-guide ${A}/$A
Move into the directory and decompress the file
cd $A
gunzip -c ../$I | tar xf -
Go back to the original directory in case there are more iterations of the loop
cd..
done
