toolbox-create: Create a `toolbox` container for a specific distribution.
$ toolbox create --distro ${distribution}
try on your machine

The command "toolbox create --distro ${distribution}" is used to create a new container environment, commonly referred to as a toolbox, with a specified Linux distribution.

Here's how the different parts of the command work:

  • "toolbox" indicates that we are using the "toolbox" tool, which is commonly found in Linux distributions like Fedora, Red Hat, and CentOS. This tool provides a convenient way to create isolated container environments.

  • "create" is the specific command provided by the toolbox tool to create a new container.

  • "--distro" is an option or flag that specifies the distribution of Linux you want to use for the new container. This option is followed by the value of "${distribution}".

  • "${distribution}" is a placeholder variable for a specific Linux distribution name. The value of this variable will be replaced with the actual distribution name when running the command. For example, if you set "${distribution}" to "fedora", the command would become "toolbox create --distro fedora".

In summary, the command creates a new container environment using the specified Linux distribution. The "${distribution}" variable allows you to easily switch between different distributions without modifying the command itself.
