+### Effect.tap
+
+If you want to combine two effects together without altering the return value,
+you can use `Effect.tap`. Like `Effect.andThen`, it can be used in a pipeline.
+Here's an example:
+
+```ts
+Effect.succeed(42).pipe(Effect.tap((value) => Effect.log(value)))
+```
+
+The result of this effect will be `42`.
