How do you send someone a dolt database as a file?

Probably by first pushing it into a file. This command is in the readme.

  dolt remote add <remote> file:///Users/xyz/abs/path/

Push it to DoltHub, tell them to clone it. Just like with source code.

How do you send someone a git repository as a file? Why would a tarball not work?

Git bundles. Amazing simple tool. Doing it all the time via sneaker net, or mail/chat-with-attachments, better that sending patches around IME.
