newsboat: First import feed URLs from an OPML file.
$ newsboat -i ${my-feeds-xml}
try on your machine

The command "newsboat -i ${my-feeds-xml}" is used to import RSS or Atom feeds into the Newsboat RSS feed reader application.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "newsboat" is the command-line executable for the Newsboat feed reader.
  • "-i" is the option used to import feeds.
  • "${my-feeds-xml}" is a placeholder representing the name or location of the XML file containing the feed URLs. The actual file name or path should be specified in place of "${my-feeds-xml}".

By running this command, Newsboat will read the specified XML file (containing the feed URLs) and import the feeds, making them accessible for reading and updates within the Newsboat application.
