hyperfine: Run a basic benchmark, performing at least 10 runs.
$ hyperfine '${make}'
try on your machine

The command hyperfine '${make}' is using the hyperfine tool to measure the execution time of a command specified by the variable make.

  • hyperfine is a command-line benchmarking tool used to measure the execution time of other commands. It runs the specified command multiple times and provides statistics like minimum, maximum, and average execution times.

  • The ${make} is parameterized using the ${...} syntax, which suggests that it is a variable. The value of this variable is inserted into the command before it is executed. In this case, the make variable likely contains a command to build or compile something using the make tool.

Overall, the command is using hyperfine to measure the execution time of a command specified in the make variable, helping to analyze the performance and efficiency of that command.
