I think one could argue it is a compressed file[1], one just needs a
special tool to get the uncompressed version (as one needs to get data out
of the .zip or .tar.gz file):

(here I'd argue this file has no degree of creativity: this is simply the
new file template at that time with file name, date and author filled
automatically by the IDE.)
[1] or, more in generally multiple compressed files, as this can hold
multiple revisions of the file, although there is only one revision in this
repo.
