$ echo "${url=http:--example-com}" | git credential fill
try on your machine
This command is made up of two parts:
-
echo "${url=http:--example-com}"
: This part sets a variable namedurl
to the valuehttp:--example-com
and then echoes (prints) this value to the console. The use of=
assigns the value to the variableurl
, and the${}
notation is used for variable expansion in the shell. -
| git credential fill
: The pipe symbol|
is used to pass the output of the previous command as input to thegit credential fill
command. Thegit credential fill
command is responsible for reading and populating Git credentials.
In summary, this command sets the url
variable to http:--example-com
and then uses this value as input for the git credential fill
command.
