atom: Open a file or directory in an existing window.
$ atom --add ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command "atom --add ${filename_or_directory}" is a command-line instruction used to open a file or directory in the Atom text editor.
Here's a breakdown of the usage:
- "atom" is the command to launch the Atom text editor from the terminal.
- "--add" is an option or flag that is used to add a file or directory to the Atom project tree view.
- "${filename_or_directory}" is a placeholder that represents the actual name or path of the file or directory you want to open.
So, when you run this command by replacing "${filename_or_directory}" with the desired file or directory name, Atom will open the specified file or directory within its interface, and it will be added to the project tree view for easy access.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
