The command "ddev start" is used in the context of DDEV-Local, which is a local development environment tool for web developers. "ddev" is the command-line interface (CLI) utility for managing DDEV-Local.
When you run the "ddev start" command, it initiates the start of your DDEV-Local environment. This means it will start up the virtual machine (usually using Docker), set up the necessary containers, and configure the environment according to your DDEV configuration files.
Once the DDEV-Local environment has started, any web projects or applications you have configured will become accessible through the configured domain names in your local browser. This allows you to develop and test your web projects locally, with an environment that closely resembles a production environment.
In summary, "ddev start" is the command to start your DDEV-Local environment, getting all containers up and running, and making your local web projects accessible for development and testing.
