`example-get-started` : use tar instead of zip

[jorgeorpinel]

I think we're using ZIP so Windows users can use the example-get-started repo

example-repos-dev/example-get-started/deploy.sh

Lines 17 to 19 in 9ec8211

	pushd $PACKAGE_DIR
	zip -r $PACKAGE src/*
	popd

But a) I can't run the above command from Windows (i.e. generating the repo, because zip isn't available on Win cmd or any terminal), and most importantly, b) unzip is also not a command shipped with Windows. You need to install it on some other console such as Git Bash using Chocolatey, etc.

example-repos-dev/example-get-started/generate.sh

Lines 82 to 84 in 9ec8211

	wget https://code.dvc.org/get-started/code.zip
	unzip code.zip
	rm -f code.zip

Why not just use something more Linux friendly that we can also install on Windows anyway? Meaning tar

[jorgeorpinel]

This would imply updating the docs at dvc.org/doc as well.

yep, agreed. The only thing I had in mind that zip (even though CLI is not available) is a bit more familiar to win users, and even Explorer itself can open it as far as I remember.

On the other hand, what are downsides of using zip? I think for Linux users it does not make any difference, right?

[jorgeorpinel]

Yes, Window Explorer can open ZIP files, this is true. So we could keep these and just mention in a bunch of places that for windows some of the commands have to be done via browser and UI instead of CLI. I would still prefer tar. Most devs are familiar with tars and tarballs, I think.

No downside for Linux, just weird haha.

[shcheklein]

Let's do tar - I'm fine with that!

[shcheklein]

Better to avoid a lot of notes everywhere about Windows

[jorgeorpinel]

Agree. Will do!
