http-server:tldr:87995
The command "http-server" is a command-line tool used to start a web server in order to serve static files from a directory. It is typically used for quick development and testing purposes.
In the given command, ${path-to-directory} represents the path to the directory that you want the server to serve files from. You need to replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory on your system.
Similarly, ${port} represents the port number that you want the server to listen on. You need to replace ${port} with the desired port number.
By running this command with the appropriate values for ${path-to-directory} and ${port}, the http-server tool will start a web server, and you will be able to access the files in the specified directory through a web browser using the URL "http://localhost:${port}".
