Open a file on a specific line in IntelliJ Idea
$ idea --line ${line_number} ${file}
try on your machine

This command is likely used in a command-line interface for the IntelliJ IDEA development environment.

The idea command is used to open IntelliJ IDEA and perform specific actions. In this case, it is used to open a specific file and navigate to a specific line number within that file.

The ${line_number} placeholder should be replaced with the actual line number that you want to navigate to. This could be any positive integer value.

The ${file} placeholder should be replaced with the path to the file you want to open. This can be an absolute or relative path.

When you execute this command, IntelliJ IDEA will open the specified file and automatically navigate to the specified line number within that file. This can be helpful when working with large code files and you need to quickly locate a specific line.
