What is a TAR file?

TAR (Tape Archive) is a traditional Unix archiver that bundles multiple files into a single archive without compression. It's widely used in Linux and Unix systems.

Why extract a TAR file?

Extracting TAR files allows you to access individual files, preserve Unix permissions, and view the original folder structure.
