http: Download a URL to a file.
$ http --download ${example-org}
try on your machine
The command "http --download ${example-org}" is using a tool called HTTPie (or http for short) to download a file from the specified URL.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "http" is the name of the tool or command being used.
- "--download" is an option or flag provided by the http command. It instructs the tool to perform a file download instead of a regular HTTP request.
- "${example-org}" is a placeholder or parameter that represents the URL from which you want to download a file. The actual URL should be provided in place of "${example-org}".
So, when you run this command by replacing "${example-org}" with an actual URL, the http tool will retrieve the file at that URL and save it to your local machine.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
