carbon-now: Create an image from a file using default settings.
$ carbon-now ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "carbon-now" with the argument "${filename}" is used to generate a carbon image of the specified file.

Carbon is a tool that allows you to create beautiful images of your source code. It is commonly used to share code snippets on social media, blog posts, or documentation.

In this command, "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file that you want to generate a carbon image for. You need to replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file (including the file extension).

For example, if you want to generate a carbon image for a file named "script.js", you would use the command: "carbon-now script.js".

Executing this command will open a carbon image in a web browser with your source code beautifully styled. You can then customize the appearance of the image and download it for sharing.
