TAR
(Tape Archive)
An archive format used to bundle multiple files into a single package
What's it for?
Bundles several files into one archive so they are easier to move or store together.
For example…
A Linux administrator bundles a folder of logs into one TAR archive before transferring it to another server
Source code is distributed as a `.tar.gz` file, which combines a TAR archive with compression to make the download smaller
