kdeconnect-cli: Share an URL or file with a paired device, specifying its ID.
$ kdeconnect-cli --share ${select} --device ${device_id}
try on your machine

The command "kdeconnect-cli --share ${select} --device ${device_id}" is used to share a file or directory with another device using KDE Connect CLI (Command Line Interface).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "kdeconnect-cli": It refers to the KDE Connect Command Line Interface, which provides a way to interact with KDE Connect functionality through the command line.
  • "--share": It is a flag or option used to specify that you want to share a file or directory.
  • "${select}": It is a variable that represents the file or directory you want to share. The actual name or path of the file or directory would replace "${select}" when executing the command.
  • "--device": It is another flag used to indicate the target device you want to share the file or directory with.
  • "${device_id}": It is a variable representing the unique identifier or name of the target device. The actual device ID or name would replace "${device_id}" when running the command.

So, this command essentially allows you to share a file or directory with a specific device using KDE Connect CLI.
