pipx: Run an app in a temporary virtual environment with a package name different from the executable.

pipx

$ pipx run --spec ${httpx-cli} ${httpx} ${http:--www-github-com}

try on your machine

This command is used with the pipx run command to execute a Python package or script in an isolated environment created by pipx.

The --spec option is used to specify the package to run. In this case, the package is specified using the ${httpx-cli} variable. It could be a package name, a module name, or the path to a script.

The ${httpx} and ${http:--www-github-com} are placeholder variables and it's not clear what their values represent without additional context. They might be used as arguments or variables within the script or package specified in the --spec option.

Overall, this command likely runs a Python package or script using pipx in an isolated environment and passes some arguments or variables specified by the ${httpx} and ${http:--www-github-com} placeholders. The exact functionality and purpose of this command can be determined by understanding the specific values of those placeholders and what the executed script or package is designed to do.
