miniserve: Serve a directory.

miniserve

$ miniserve ${path-to-directory}

try on your machine

The command "miniserve ${path-to-directory}" refers to a specific command to run a software called "miniserve" with an argument that specifies the path to a directory.

Here's the breakdown of the elements in the command:

"miniserve": It is a command-line utility or software that allows you to quickly serve files and directories over HTTP. It helps in creating a local web server, allowing you to access and share files or folder content within your network.
"${path-to-directory}": This is a placeholder that represents the actual path to the directory you want to serve. You need to replace "${path-to-directory}" with the actual path on your system. For example, if the directory you want to serve is located at "/home/user/documents", you would replace "${path-to-directory}" with "/home/user/documents".

By executing this command in a terminal or command prompt, the "miniserve" tool will start a web server using the specified directory as the source. This means you can access the files and content within that directory on your local network by visiting the provided IP address and port in a web browser.
