set: List environment variables starting with the specified string.
$ set ${name}
try on your machine

The command "set ${name}" is used to assign a value to a variable in various scripting languages, such as Bash or PowerShell. Here, "${name}" represents the variable name, and you can replace it with the actual name of the variable you want to set. This command sets the value of the variable to whatever is specified after the equal sign (=). For example, if you want to set the variable "name" to "John", you would use the command:

  • Bash: "set name=John"
  • PowerShell: "$name = 'John'" After executing this command, you can refer to the variable by its name (${name}) in subsequent code or commands and use its assigned value.
