Generate a new application in your Nx workspace
$ npx nx g @nrwl/${framework}:application --name=${name}
try on your machine

This command is using the npx (Node Package Runner) command, which is provided by npm (Node Package Manager) to execute a specific command line tool called nx. nx is a tool provided by the Nx Workspace, which is a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos.

The nx g command is used to generate code or artifacts within an Nx Workspace. In this case, it is being used to generate a new application.

The @nrwl/${framework} part of the command is specifying the framework that will be used for the application generation. The framework can be replaced with the specific framework you want to use, for example @nrwl/angular, @nrwl/react, @nrwl/node, etc. This allows the generation of applications specific to different frameworks within the Nx Workspace.

The --name=${name} part of the command is specifying the name of the application that will be generated. The ${name} can be replaced with the specific name you want to give to your application.

Overall, this command is using nx to generate a new application within an Nx Workspace, using a specific framework and with a given name.
