The command "notmuch tag -${custom_tag} "${search_term}" " is used to tag emails using the notmuch email indexer and search tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- The "notmuch" command is the main command used to interact with the notmuch tool.
- "tag" is a subcommand of notmuch used to apply or remove tags from emails.
- "-${custom_tag}" is an argument used to specify the custom tag that will be applied to the emails. The "${custom_tag}" is a placeholder that represents a variable that should be replaced with the actual tag name when executing the command.
- "-" before the custom tag signifies that the tag should be applied to the emails. Using "+" instead of "-" would remove the specified tag.
- "${search_term}" is also an argument that represents the search term or query used to select the emails to which the tag will be applied. Again, it's a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual search term when running the command.
Overall, the command is used to apply or remove a custom tag to/from emails matching a specific search term using the notmuch tool.
