newsboat: Alternatively, add feeds manually.

echo

$ echo ${http:--example-com-path-to-feed} >> "${HOME}/.newsboat/urls"

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.
${http:--example-com-path-to-feed}: This is a parameter expansion or variable substitution. It indicates that the value to be printed is the string http:--example-com-path-to-feed. This could be replaced with an actual URL.
>>: This is a redirection operator in the shell. It appends the output of the previous command to a file, rather than printing it to the terminal.
"${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.
