live-server: Specify a port (default is 8080) from which to serve a file.
$ live-server --port=${8081}
try on your machine

This command launches a local development server using the tool "live-server" with a specific port configuration.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "live-server": This is the name or path to the executable or script that initiates the local development server. It could be a globally installed tool or a local dependency.

  • "--port=${8081}": This is a flag used to specify the port on which the local server should run. In this command, it is set to port 8081 using the syntax "${8081}". The "$" symbol is often used to refer to variables, so it suggests that the value of the variable "8081" should be used as the port. However, this syntax seems incorrect here as it's not referring to an explicitly defined variable. It might be an error in transcription, and the correct usage should be "--port=8081".

Overall, this command starts a local development server using live-server on port 8081 (or potentially the value of the variable "8081", if it has been defined elsewhere).

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.
