eget: Only download the asset, skipping extraction.

try on your machine

The command "eget ${zyedidia-micro} --download-only" is using the "eget" command to download the software package named "zyedidia-micro" without installing it.

Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • "eget": It is likely a command-line tool or script that is used to interact with some package management system or repository.
  • "${zyedidia-micro}": This is a variable or placeholder enclosed in curly braces. The actual value of this variable is likely the name or identifier of the "zyedidia-micro" package.
  • "--download-only": This is a flag or option passed to the "eget" command. It instructs the command to only download the package without performing any further installation steps.

Overall, the command is fetching the "zyedidia-micro" package from a repository or source specified by the "eget" command, but instead of installing it, it only downloads the package to the local system.
