try on your machine

The command "sensible-browser ${url}" is a command in Linux or Unix-based systems.

It is used to open a URL (website) in the default web browser of the system in a sensible way. The "${url}" is a placeholder that represents the URL you want to open.

By using "sensible-browser" instead of specifying a specific browser, it ensures that the system will open the URL in the most suitable web browser. The "sensible-browser" command looks for the default browser set in the system preferences and opens the URL using that browser.

This command is useful when writing scripts or configuring applications that need to open URLs on the default browser without assuming a specific browser is installed on every system. By using "sensible-browser," the command becomes more portable across different Linux or Unix distributions.
