mongo: Connect to a database.
$ mongo ${database}
try on your machine

This command is used to connect to a MongoDB database using the mongo shell.

In the command, ${database} is a placeholder for the name of the database you want to connect to. You need to replace ${database} with the actual name of the database you want to connect to.

When you run this command with the correct database name, the mongo shell will open a connection to the specified database, allowing you to interact with the database using MongoDB query language (MongoDB Query Language) commands.

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.
