psysh: Use a specific configuration file.
$ psysh --config ${filename}
try on your machine

The command "psysh --config ${filename}" is used to run the PsySH REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) with a specific configuration file.

Let's break down the command and its components:

  • "psysh": This is the name of the command or executable that runs the PsySH REPL, a runtime developer console for PHP. It allows you to interactively experiment with PHP code and expressions.

  • "--config": This is an option flag used to specify that a configuration file will be provided. It tells PsySH that there is a file that contains specific configurations for its environment.

  • "${filename}": This is a placeholder for the actual configuration file's name. The command expects you to replace "${filename}" with the name of the configuration file you want to use. For example, if your configuration file is named "psysh_config.php", you should replace "${filename}" with "psysh_config.php" in the command.

Once you execute the command, it will launch PsySH using the provided configuration file, applying the specified settings and customizations to the interactive shell session.

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.
