git-instaweb: Listen on a specific port.
$ git instaweb --start --port ${1234}
try on your machine

The git instaweb command is used to start a small web server to display the current repository in a web browser.

In this specific command, --start is an option to start the web server. --port is another option to specify the port number on which the server will listen. ${1234} is not a valid syntax in this command.

The correct command should be:

git instaweb --start --port 1234

This command would start the instaweb web server on port 1234 so that you can access and view your Git repository through a web browser at http://localhost:1234.

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.
