Several ways to do this all of them nto really saving any time than if you do it in two operations.

The simplest would be

"cp file file.new && gzip file.new"

Never preceed any demonstration with anything more predictive than "watch this"

Try this:

gzip -c file > file.gz
Entities are not to be multiplied beyond necessity - RTFM
