The command "foreman start ${process}" is used to start a specific process or processes using the Foreman tool.
"foreman" is a command-line tool that helps manage and run multiple processes in a development environment. It is commonly used in web application development stacks that require several processes to run concurrently, such as web servers, background workers, and database servers.
The "start" command is used to initiate the specified process(es) defined in a Procfile. A Procfile is a configuration file that declares the different processes to be run, along with their respective commands and options.
"${process}" is a placeholder for the name of the specific process that you want to start. You should replace "${process}" with the actual name of the process defined in your Procfile. For example, if you have a process named "web" defined in the Procfile, the command would be: "foreman start web".
Running this command will start the specified process(es) using the configurations provided in the Procfile. Foreman will handle the orchestration, logging, and management of the processes, making it easier to develop and test applications that require multiple services to run simultaneously.
