reflector: Only get German HTTPS mirrors.
$ reflector --country ${Germany} --protocol ${https}
try on your machine
The given command is using the "reflector" tool, which is typically used to retrieve an up-to-date list of servers for Arch Linux's package manager, Pacman. This command is specifically instructing reflector to filter and select servers based on the country and protocol specified.
Let's break down the command:
reflector
is the name of the tool or command being used.--country
is an option flag used by reflector to filter servers by country. In this case,${Germany}
is the value being passed to the--country
option. The${Germany}
syntax suggests that the value is a variable, and its actual content is expected to be provided elsewhere in the script or command.--protocol
is another option flag used to filter servers based on the protocol. In this case,${https}
is the value passed to the--protocol
option. Similar to${Germany}
,${https}
seems to indicate a variable whose value would be determined elsewhere.
To fully understand the command, it is necessary to know the values assigned to variables ${Germany}
and ${https}
. These values should be defined prior to executing the command to ensure it functions as desired.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
