I need to compress a Js file in Azure DevOps in gz format. I have use Azure built-in archive task to zip the file but there is only tar.gz available. I want only gz. Command which i need to run is

7z.exe a -tgzip $targetFile $sourceFile

Is there any way to do this in Azure DevOps.

7zip appears to be a tool configured on the hosted pipeline image. You can just create a PowerShell task that wraps the calls you want.

An example YML snippet using the windows-2019 image:

- task: PowerShell@2
  inputs:
    targetType: 'inline'
    script: '& 7z.exe a -tgzip $(Build.StagingDirectory) $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\README.md'

Log for the task:

Starting: PowerShell
==============================================================================
Task         : PowerShell
Description  : Run a PowerShell script on Linux, macOS, or Windows
