Be aware that the * glob will probably miss filenames beginning with
a dot.  Since you're using pushd, which is a bash extension, this is
probably a bash script.  Therefore you might consider using

shopt -s dotglob

inside the script, to make the * glob include "dot files".  That's
assuming you want to retain the current archive appearance.

The alternative would be to use . instead of * as tar's starting
point.  This would change your archive appearance from

.bashrc
bin/foo
lib/libbar.a

to

./.bashrc
./bin/foo
./lib/libbar.a
