This is a command line command that utilizes the "lt" command, which is short for "localtunnel". "lt" is a tool used to expose a local server to the internet through a tunnel.
In this specific command, the following options are used:
-
"--port": Specifies the port number of the local server that you want to expose to the internet. In this case, it is set to "8000", but you can change it to the desired port number.
-
"${8000}": This is a syntax used in some command line environments (like Bash) to reference the value of a variable. In this case, the variable is not explicitly defined in the command, so it assumes the port number is directly specified as "8000".
-
"--open": This option indicates that the command should automatically open a new browser tab with the exposed URL. When the tunnel is established, you can click the link to access your local server on the internet.
Therefore, the command "lt --port ${8000} --open" is used to create a tunnel to expose a local server running on port 8000 to the internet, and it automatically opens a browser tab with the exposed URL for easy access.
