http: Specify raw request body via `stdin`.

$ cat ${data-txt} | http PUT ${example-org}

try on your machine

This command can be broken down into two parts:

cat ${data-txt}: The cat command is used to concatenate and display the contents of files. In this case, ${data-txt} is a placeholder for a file named data.txt. So, this part of the command will display the contents of the data.txt file.
http PUT ${example-org}: This part of the command uses the http command to send an HTTP request. Specifically, it uses the HTTP method PUT to send data to the URL specified in ${example-org}. ${example-org} is a placeholder for the target URL or endpoint to which the data will be sent.

In summary, the command reads the contents of the data.txt file using cat and then sends that data as a PUT request to the specified URL using the http command.
