docker: Start a machine.
$ docker-machine start ${name}
try on your machine

This command is used to start a Docker machine instance specified by the name provided as a parameter.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • docker-machine: This is the main command-line utility for managing Docker machines. It allows you to create, manage, and interact with Docker machine instances.
  • start: This is a sub-command used to start a Docker machine. It initializes and starts the Docker machine instance specified by the name parameter.
  • ${name}: This is a placeholder for the name of the Docker machine instance to be started. You need to replace ${name} with the actual name of the Docker machine instance you want to start.

In summary, this command starts a specific Docker machine instance identified by its name.
