coffee: Compile to JavaScript and save to a file with the same name.
$ coffee --compile ${filename-coffee}
try on your machine

This command is using the "coffee" command-line tool to compile a CoffeeScript file (${filename-coffee}) into JavaScript.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "coffee" is the name of the command-line tool, likely the CoffeeScript compiler.
  • "--compile" is an option or flag that tells the "coffee" tool to perform the compilation process.
  • "${filename-coffee}" is a placeholder for the actual name of the CoffeeScript file that you want to compile. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual file name when executing the command.

For example, if you have a file named "script.coffee" that you want to compile, you would replace "${filename-coffee}" with "script.coffee" in the command.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
