git-credential: Display credential information, retrieving the username and password from configuration files.

echo

$ 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 named url to the value http:--example-com and then echoes (prints) this value to the console. The use of = assigns the value to the variable url, 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 the git credential fill command. The git 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.
