$ rekor-cli search --artifact ${filename-ext}

try on your machine

The command "rekor-cli search --artifact ${filename-ext}" is using the rekor-cli tool to search for an artifact specified by the variable "filename-ext".

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"rekor-cli" is the command-line interface for Rekor, a tool used for securely logging and verifying metadata about artifacts. It is typically used for recording and verifying the provenance of software packages or other digital files.
"search" is a subcommand of rekor-cli used to search for artifacts in the Rekor log.
"--artifact" is a flag used to specify that the search is based on the artifact itself rather than other metadata.
"${filename-ext}" is a placeholder for the actual filename and extension of the artifact you want to search. You need to replace it with the specific filename and extension you are interested in. For example, if the filename is "example.jar", you would replace "${filename-ext}" with "example.jar".

Therefore, when you run this command, the rekor-cli tool will search the Rekor log for metadata related to the specified artifact (filename-ext) and display the results.
