atom: Open a file or directory in a new window.
$ atom -n ${filename_or_directory}
try on your machine
The command "atom -n ${filename_or_directory}" is used to open a file or directory in the Atom text editor. Here's a breakdown of the components:
- "atom": This is the name of the command that launches the Atom editor. It tells the operating system to open Atom.
- "-n": This is an optional flag that can be used with the "atom" command. It stands for "new window" and instructs Atom to open the specified file or directory in a new window instead of adding it to the existing window.
- "${filename_or_directory}": This is a placeholder representing the name of the file or directory you want to open in Atom. Replace it with the actual name or path of the file or directory you want to open.
By running this command with the desired file or directory as an argument, you can open it in Atom for editing or viewing.
