phpenv: Set the global PHP version.
$ phpenv global ${version}
try on your machine

The command "phpenv global ${version}" is used to set the global version of PHP in a PHP version manager called phpenv.

PHPENV is a tool that helps manage multiple versions of PHP on a single system. It allows developers to easily switch between different PHP versions for different projects.

In this specific command, the ${version} placeholder represents the desired PHP version you want to set as the global version. For example, if you want to set PHP version 7.4 as the global version, you would replace ${version} with "7.4".

Once you run this command, phpenv will change the global PHP version to the specified version. This means that any new terminal sessions or processes will default to using the selected PHP version, unless explicitly overridden.

This command is useful when you have multiple projects that require different PHP versions. By setting the global version, you don't have to repeatedly specify the PHP version for each project and can switch between versions easily.

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.
