try on your machine
This command is used to append a specific URL to the file urls
within the .newsboat
folder located in the user's home directory (${HOME}
). Here's a breakdown of the command:
echo
: This command is used to print/display a given message or value. In this case, it will print the URL.${http:--example-com-path-to-feed}
: This is a parameter expansion or variable substitution. It indicates that the value to be printed is the stringhttp:--example-com-path-to-feed
. This could be replaced with an actual URL.>>
: This is a redirection operator in the shell. It appends the output of the previous command to a file, rather than printing it to the terminal."${HOME}/.newsboat/urls"
: This is the file path where the output will be appended.${HOME}
is a way to represent the user's home directory.
To summarize, the command appends a specific URL to the end of the urls
file within the .newsboat
folder in the user's home directory.
