The command "minifab down" is used to stop and shut down a running Minifab network.
Minifab is a tool for deploying and managing Hyperledger Fabric networks. It simplifies the process of creating, updating, and tearing down Fabric networks.
The "minifab down" command is specifically used to tear down a running Fabric network that was created using Minifab. When executed, it stops all the components of the network, such as peers, orderers, and certificate authorities, and removes all the associated container instances.
This command is typically used when you no longer need the Fabric network and want to clean up the resources. It ensures that all the containers and configurations are removed, freeing up system resources that were being used by the network.
