atuin: Search shell history for a specific command.
$ atuin search ${command}
try on your machine

The command "atuin search ${command}" is telling the computer to perform a search using a program or tool called "atuin" and pass the value of the variable "command" as an argument to the search.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "atuin" is likely the name of a search program or utility that the user is interacting with. It could be a custom-built tool or a pre-existing software.
  • "search" is the action or function that the program is specifically being instructed to perform. It indicates that the following argument will be used to search for something.
  • "${command}" is a placeholder or variable. The actual value assigned to the variable "command" will be substituted here. The user needs to replace ${command} with the desired search query or keyword.

In summary, the command is asking the "atuin" program to perform a search using the provided query or keyword stored in the variable "command".
