$ quarto preview ${select}
try on your machine

The command "quarto preview ${select}" is likely a command used in a software called Quarto.

"quarto" is the command-line interface (CLI) for the Quarto tool. It is used to work with Quarto projects, which are collections of documents written in Markdown and can include code, data, and output.

"preview" is a subcommand of "quarto" that is used to render and preview the documents in a Quarto project. It allows you to see how the documents would look when they are rendered into their final format (such as HTML or PDF).

"${select}" is likely a placeholder indicating a variable that needs to be replaced with an actual value. This is typical in command-line interfaces where users need to provide specific arguments or options.

To use the command, you would need to replace "${select}" with the actual value you want to preview. For example, if you have multiple documents in your Quarto project and want to preview a specific document, you would replace "${select}" with the name or path of that document.
