The command "nmtui connect" is used to open the NetworkManager Text User Interface (nmtui) and connect to a new network or manage existing network connections.

When you run the "nmtui connect" command, it launches a text-based interface that allows you to navigate through different network options and settings using keyboard and arrow keys.

Once you are in the nmtui interface, you can choose to connect to a network by selecting the "Activate a connection" option. It will display a list of available network connections, including both wired and wireless networks that your system detects.

After selecting the desired network, you may need to provide authentication credentials like a password or authentication method, depending on the network security settings.

In summary, the "nmtui connect" command provides a command-line interface for easily connecting to or managing network connections on your system without needing to use a graphical user interface.
