syncthing: Start Syncthing without opening a web browser.
$ syncthing -no-browser
try on your machine

The command syncthing -no-browser refers to running the Syncthing application without opening or launching the web browser user interface.

Syncthing is an open-source file synchronization tool that allows you to synchronize files and folders between multiple devices. By default, when you run Syncthing, it also opens a web browser interface that allows you to configure and monitor the synchronization process.

However, when you include the -no-browser flag in the command, it instructs Syncthing not to automatically open the browser interface. Instead, the command will only start the Syncthing application in the background or on the command line without launching any graphical user interface (GUI).

Using this command can be useful in scenarios where you do not need or want to use the browser interface and prefer to interact with Syncthing solely through the command line or run it as a background process.

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.
