moe: Edit a file without creating backups.
$ moe --no-backup ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "moe --no-backup ${filename}" is used to open a file named ${filename} in a text editor called "moe" without creating a backup file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "moe" refers to the name of the text editor.
  • "--no-backup" is an option or flag that specifies the editor not to create a backup file before making changes.
  • ${filename} is a placeholder indicating that you should replace it with the actual name of the file you want to open.

By executing this command, the "moe" text editor will open the specified file for editing, and any changes made will not result in the creation of a backup copy of the original file.

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.
