coffee: Compile to JavaScript and save to a given output file.

coffee

$ coffee --compile ${filename-coffee} --output ${filename-js}

try on your machine

This command is used to compile a CoffeeScript file into JavaScript. Let's break it down:

coffee is the command to execute the CoffeeScript compiler.
--compile is an option that tells the compiler to compile the specified CoffeeScript file.
${filename-coffee} is a placeholder for the name of the CoffeeScript file you want to compile. You would replace this placeholder with the actual file name.
--output is an option that specifies the output directory for the compiled JavaScript file.
${filename-js} is a placeholder for the desired name of the output JavaScript file. You would replace this placeholder with the actual desired file name.

Overall, this command instructs the CoffeeScript compiler to compile a CoffeeScript file (specified by ${filename-coffee}) into JavaScript and save the resulting file in the specified output directory with the desired name (specified by ${filename-js}).
