nmtui: Edit/Add/Delete a given network.
$ nmtui edit ${select}
try on your machine

The command "nmtui edit ${select}" is used to edit the network configuration using the nmtui (NetworkManager Text User Interface) tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "nmtui" is a command line tool used for managing network connections in Linux systems.
  • "edit" is an action that specifies that we want to edit a network connection.
  • "${select}" is a variable that holds the name of the network connection we want to edit. In this command, ${select} needs to be replaced with the actual name of the network connection.

By running this command, the nmtui tool will be launched in text mode, allowing you to select a network connection to edit. Once you select a connection, you can modify various settings like the IP address, DNS servers, gateway, and more.
