html5validator: Ignore specific directory names.
$ html5validator --root ${path-to-directory} --blacklist "${node_modules vendor}"
try on your machine

The command you provided is used to run an HTML5 validator on a specified directory with a blacklist of directories.

Let's break it down:

  • html5validator: This is the name of the command or script being executed. It is likely the name of a tool or program installed on your system for HTML5 validation.

  • --root: This option specifies the root directory that will be validated by the HTML5 validator. ${path-to-directory} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to validate.

  • --blacklist: This option allows you to specify directories that should be excluded from the validation process. In this case, the directories specified are "${node_modules vendor}". The quotation marks indicate that the directories are enclosed as a single argument, and the ${} syntax suggests they are placeholders that should be replaced with actual directory names.

    It is worth noting that the "${node_modules vendor}" syntax, with a space separating the directory names, could be interpreted as a single directory name if you are working in a shell that supports brace expansion. If you want to include multiple directories in the blacklist, separated by spaces, you may need to remove the quotation marks. For example: ${node_modules} ${vendor}.

The overall purpose of this command is to run an HTML5 validator on a specific directory, while excluding certain directories from the validation process.

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.
