What is packing scripts?

Packing scripts are automated tools used to pack and compress files into a single archive file for easier distribution and storage. These scripts are usually used in software development, website development, and data center management. Packing scripts ensure that all the files and directories are included in the archive and can be easily extracted on any machine. They can also be used to reduce the size of large files for faster transfer and less storage space. Some commonly used packing scripts include tar, gzip, and zip. These scripts are typically run from a command line interface or through an integrated development environment (IDE) and can be customized to include specific files and directories and exclude unwanted ones.
