ipfs: Save a remote file and give it a name but not pin it.
$ ipfs get ${hash} -o ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "ipfs get ${hash} -o ${filename}" is related to the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), a distributed file system for storing and sharing files across a network.
- "ipfs get" is a command that tells IPFS to retrieve a file from the network.
- "${hash}" is a placeholder that represents the unique identifier (hash) of the file you want to retrieve. Each file stored on IPFS has a unique hash associated with it.
- "-o" is a flag that specifies the output destination for the retrieved file.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder that represents the name you want to give to the retrieved file (including the desired file extension).
In summary, this command instructs IPFS to retrieve a file with a specific hash from the IPFS network and save it to the specified filename.
