rustup-init.sh: Run `rustup-init` without asking for confirmation.
$ rustup-init.sh -y
try on your machine

The command rustup-init.sh -y is used to initialize the Rust programming language's toolchain by executing the rustup-init.sh script with the -y flag.

Here is an explanation of the different parts:

  1. rustup-init.sh: rustup-init.sh is a script provided by the Rust team to simplify the installation process of the Rust toolchain.

  2. -y flag: The -y flag stands for "yes" and is used to automatically answer "yes" to all prompts during the installation process. It means you do not need to manually confirm or provide input during the installation.

When you execute rustup-init.sh -y, the script will install the Rust toolchain and its associated components without any user intervention. This can be useful when you want to automate the installation process without being prompted for confirmation at each step.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
