ugrep: Fuzzy search files with up to 3 extra, missing or mismatching characters in the pattern.
$ ugrep --fuzzy=${3} "${search_pattern}"
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the ugrep tool, which is a powerful file search utility similar to the traditional grep command but with enhanced features. Let's break down the command:

ugrep: This is the command to run the ugrep tool.

--fuzzy=${3}: This flag is used to enable fuzzy matching. Fuzzy matching is a technique that allows finding approximate matches rather than exact matches. ${3} is a placeholder for a variable that should be provided when executing the command. The value of this variable should determine the fuzziness level for the search.

"${search_pattern}": This is the pattern that ugrep will use for searching files. It is enclosed in double quotes to ensure that the pattern is properly passed to the command.

Overall, the command is using ugrep to perform a file search using a specified search pattern with fuzzy matching enabled. The level of fuzziness is determined by the value of the variable represented by ${3}.

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.
