redis-cli: Connect to a remote server specifying a URI.

redis-cli

$ redis-cli -u ${uri}

try on your machine

The command "redis-cli -u ${uri}" is used to connect to a Redis server using a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

Here's a breakdown of the command and its components:

"redis-cli": This is the Redis command-line interface (CLI) tool. It allows you to interact with the Redis server from the command line.
"-u ${uri}": This is an option passed to the "redis-cli" command. The "-u" flag is used to specify the URI of the Redis server. The "${uri}" placeholder is typically replaced with the actual URI value.

The URI specifies the connection details, including the protocol (e.g., redis://), hostname or IP address, port number, and any authentication information required to connect to the Redis server. The format of the URI may vary depending on the Redis instance and the client library being used.

For example, the URI might look like "redis://localhost:6379" if you are connecting to a Redis server running on the local machine on the default port 6379.

By executing the "redis-cli -u ${uri}" command, you will establish a connection to the Redis server specified by the URI and gain access to the Redis CLI for executing Redis commands.
