Gulp Tarball Extractor

gulp-untar is a Gulp plugin designed to extract `.tar` archive files directly within a Gulp build pipeline. It operates on vinyl files, accepting either stream or Buffer contents as input and consistently outputting files with Buffer contents. The package is currently at version 0.0.8, which was last published over 7 years ago (around November 2018). Due to its age and lack of updates, it is considered abandoned. Modern Gulp workflows (Gulp 5.0.0 released March 2024) and Node.js environments may encounter compatibility issues or prefer more actively maintained alternatives like `tar-fs` used with Node's built-in `zlib` for gzipped tarballs. Its primary differentiator was its simple integration into the Gulp stream paradigm for tar extraction at the time of its release.
