josm: Launch JOSM without plugins.
$ josm --skip-plugins
try on your machine

The command "josm --skip-plugins" is used to start the JOSM (Java OpenStreetMap Editor) application while skipping the loading of any installed plugins.

JOSM is an open-source desktop editor for OpenStreetMap data. It allows users to view, edit, and customize map data. JOSM supports the use of plugins, which are additional features or functionality that can be added to the editor.

When the "--skip-plugins" option is added to the command, JOSM will start without loading any of the installed plugins. This means that only the core functionality of JOSM will be available, without any additional features provided by the plugins.

This command might be used in situations where a user wants to troubleshoot issues caused by conflicting or faulty plugins, or simply wants to have a minimalistic editing experience without any additional functionalities provided by the plugins.

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.
