vimtutor: Launch the vim tutor using the given language (en, fr, de, ...).
$ vimtutor ${language}
try on your machine

The command "vimtutor ${language}" is used to start the Vim tutorial for a specific programming language.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "vimtutor": It is the command to start the Vim tutorial. Vim is a popular text editor that provides powerful editing capabilities.
  • "${language}": This is a placeholder for the specific programming language you want to learn or practice using Vim. You need to replace "${language}" with the actual name of the programming language you want to learn, such as "python", "java", "c", etc.

For example, if you want to start the Vim tutorial for Python, you would enter: "vimtutor python" in the command line. This command will open the Vim tutorial specifically designed for learning and practicing Python within the Vim editor. The tutorial provides hands-on exercises and instructions on using Vim's features for that specific language.
