httpie: Send a PUT request with a given JSON body.
$ http PUT ${https:--example-com-todos-7} ${hello=world}
try on your machine

The given command seems to be using the http command-line tool to perform an HTTP request with the PUT method. Let's break down the command into its components:

  1. http: It is a command-line tool (possibly an HTTP client) used for sending HTTP requests.

  2. PUT: It indicates the HTTP method being used for the request. In this case, it is PUT which is typically used to update or replace a resource on the server.

  3. ${https:--example-com-todos-7}: It seems to be a placeholder URL or variable used for specifying the target server URL for the request. Since the URL is enclosed in ${}, it might be a placeholder for the actual URL that should be substituted.

  4. ${hello=world}: It appears to be another placeholder or variable to specify the request body or parameters being sent along with the request. In this case, hello is the parameter name, and world is the value associated with it.

Overall, the given command aims to send an HTTP PUT request to a specified URL, possibly replacing a resource, and including a parameter named "hello" with the value "world" in the request body or URL parameters. Note that without the actual values for the placeholder variables, the command won't execute correctly.

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.
