eget: Install the latest pre-release instead of the latest stable version.
$ eget ${zyedidia-micro} --pre-release
try on your machine

This command is using the eget utility to install a pre-release version of the micro text editor, specifically a variant called zyedidia-micro.

Here's how it can be broken down:

  • eget: This is the command or utility being used to perform the action, which is installing a package.
  • ${zyedidia-micro}: This is a variable or placeholder that represents the name of the package or program being installed. In this case, it is zyedidia-micro, indicating that the specific variant or version of the micro text editor called zyedidia-micro should be installed.
  • --pre-release: This is a flag or option passed to the eget command. It specifies that the pre-release version of the package should be installed. Pre-release versions are usually test versions or early releases that may not be as stable or fully featured as the stable version.

So, when this command is executed, it will use the eget utility to install the zyedidia-micro package, specifically a pre-release version of it.

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.
