git-credential: Send credential information to all configured credential helpers to store for later use.

echo

$ echo "${url=http:--example-com}" | git credential approve

try on your machine

This command is a combination of two separate commands: echo and git credential approve.

echo: The echo command is used to display text or variables on the terminal. In this case, echo is used to print the specified text "${url=http:--example-com}".
git credential approve: This command is related to Git's credential helper system. When you perform Git operations that require authentication, Git can use a credential helper to securely store and retrieve your credentials. The git credential approve command is used to approve or grant access to the credentials for a specific URL.

The pipe symbol | is used to redirect the output of the echo command as the input to the git credential approve command. So, the output of the echo command "${url=http:--example-com}" is sent as input to git credential approve.

Overall, this command sets the value of the URL to http://example.com and then approves the credentials for that URL in Git's credential helper system.
