+# shar
+
+> Create a shell archive.
+> More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/sharutils/manual/sharutils.html>.
+
+- Create a shell script that when executed extracts the given files from itself:
+
+`shar --vanilla-operation {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/archive.sh}}`
+
+- Compress the files in the archive:
+
+`shar --compactor {{xz}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/archive.sh}}`
+
+- Treat all files as binary (i.e. `uuencode` everything):
+
+`shar --uuencode {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/archive.sh}}`
+
+- Treat all files as text (i.e. `uuencode` nothing):
+
+`shar --text-files {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/archive.sh}}`
+
+- Include a name and cut mark in the header comment of the archive:
+
+`shar --archive-name "{{My files}}" --cut-mark {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}} > {{path/to/archive.sh}}`
