lein: Run the project's `-main` function with optional args.
$ lein run ${args}
try on your machine

The command "lein run ${args}" is a command executed in the terminal using the Leiningen (Lein) build tool for Clojure programming language.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "lein": It is the command to invoke Leiningen. Leiningen is a popular build automation tool and dependency management system for Clojure projects.

  • "run": It is a subcommand used with "lein" to run a Clojure project. When you execute "lein run", it looks for a file named "project.clj" in the current directory, fetches the dependencies defined in it, and runs the main function of the project.

  • "${args}": It is a placeholder that represents the command-line arguments that can be passed to the Clojure project when running it. The "${args}" is replaced with the actual arguments provided when executing the command.

For example, if you have a Clojure project with a main function and you want to run it with certain arguments, you would execute the command "lein run arg1 arg2 arg3". Here, "arg1", "arg2", and "arg3" are the actual arguments that will be passed to the main function.

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.
