browser-sync: Start a server from a specific directory.
$ browser-sync start --server ${path-to-directory} --files ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

The command you provided is related to BrowserSync, a tool that allows live reloading and synchronization of web browsers during development. Let's break down the command:

  • browser-sync start: This is the command to start the BrowserSync server.
  • --server ${path-to-directory}: This flag specifies the directory that will be served by the BrowserSync server. Replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory you want to serve.
  • --files ${path-to-directory}: This flag specifies the files to be watched for changes. When there is a change in any of these files, BrowserSync will automatically reload the connected browsers. Again, replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory you want to watch for changes.

To summarize, this command starts the BrowserSync server, serving the specified directory, and watches for changes in the specified directory's files.
