safe: Add a safe target.
$ safe target ${vault_addr} ${target_name}
try on your machine

The command "safe target ${vault_addr} ${target_name}" is likely used in the context of HashiCorp Vault, a popular open-source secrets management tool.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

  1. "safe" is the name of the command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing secrets in HashiCorp Vault.

  2. "target" is a subcommand of the "safe" command. It is used to specify the target Vault server or cluster that you want to interact with.

  3. "${vault_addr}" is a placeholder variable that represents the address or URL of the Vault server or cluster. It could be something like "https://vault.example.com" or a local address like "https://localhost:8200". You would replace this variable with the actual Vault server address.

  4. "${target_name}" is another placeholder variable that represents the name or alias of the target. In HashiCorp Vault, you can assign aliases to different Vault servers or clusters for ease of use. You would replace this variable with the actual name or alias of the target you want to interact with.

Overall, the command is used to set the target or Vault server that the "safe" CLI tool will communicate with, allowing you to perform various operations like reading, writing, or managing secrets in that specific Vault.
