nyxt: Change the path to the auto-config file.
$ nyxt --auto-config ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "nyxt --auto-config ${filename}" is an instruction to run the "nyxt" command-line tool with the "--auto-config" option and a specific value for the "${filename}" variable.

Here's an explanation of each component:

  1. "nyxt": It refers to the "nyxt" command-line tool, which is a web browser implemented in Common Lisp. It allows you to browse the internet and interact with web pages using a terminal or command-line interface.

  2. "--auto-config": It is an option provided by the "nyxt" tool. When this option is used, the tool automatically loads and applies a configuration file at startup instead of the default settings. It allows you to use a custom configuration to personalize your browsing experience.

  3. "${filename}": It represents a placeholder for the filename you want to use as the configuration file. You would replace "${filename}" with the actual name and path of your desired configuration file. For example, if your configuration file is named "nyxt_settings.conf" and it is located in the "/home/user/" directory, you would replace "${filename}" with "/home/user/nyxt_settings.conf".

Once you specify the desired configuration file name and its path, running the command will launch the "nyxt" tool with the provided configuration automatically applied.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
