http-server: Start an HTTP server with logging disabled.
$ http-server --silent
try on your machine

The command "http-server --silent" is used to start an HTTP server in a silent mode.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "http-server": This is the command to start the HTTP server. It is likely a globally installed package or a locally installed package in your project's dependencies.
  • "--silent": This is a flag or an option used with the "http-server" command. In this case, "--silent" indicates that the server should run in silent mode, without displaying any logs or messages on the console output.

By using the "--silent" flag, the HTTP server will start without displaying any information on the console, making it more suitable for background or automated tasks where you don't need to see the server logs regularly.
