The command "syncthing -no-restart" is used to start the Syncthing application without automatically restarting it.

Syncthing is an open-source continuous file synchronization program that allows you to keep files synchronized between different devices or computers. It is often used to automatically sync files between your personal devices, such as laptops, desktops, and smartphones.

By default, when you execute the "syncthing" command, the application starts running and continues to run in the background, even after you close the terminal or command prompt. It means that whenever you restart your computer, Syncthing will automatically start again.

However, by appending the "-no-restart" flag to the command, you prevent Syncthing from automatically restarting after the initial execution. This flag is useful if you want to start Syncthing temporarily without it running continuously in the background. When you close the terminal or command prompt, Syncthing will also terminate.

Note that the exact behavior of the flag may vary depending on the operating system you are using. It is always recommended to check the Syncthing documentation or use the "--help" flag for more accurate and up-to-date information about command usage.
