rich: Display contents from a URL.
$ rich ${https:--raw-githubusercontent-com-Textualize-rich-cli-main-README-md} --markdown --pager
try on your machine

This command is using the "rich" command-line tool to display a markdown file from a specific URL.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  1. rich: This is the command-line tool that is being executed.
  2. ${https:--raw-githubusercontent-com-Textualize-rich-cli-main-README-md}: This is the URL of the markdown file you want to display. Note that the URL format appears to be modified with dashes instead of slashes and colons. The original URL is likely "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Textualize/rich-cli/main/README.md".
  3. --markdown: This flag tells the rich tool to interpret the provided content as markdown.
  4. --pager: This flag instructs the tool to display the content using a pager, which enables scrolling through the content if it exceeds the height of the terminal window.

In summary, this command retrieves the markdown file from the specified URL and displays it in a paginated format using the "rich" command-line tool.
