wget:tldr:3ee3b

wget: Download the contents of a URL to a file (named "foo" in this case).
$ wget ${https:--example-com-foo}
try on your machine

The command wget ${https:--example-com-foo} is using the wget command-line tool to download a file from a specified URL.

However, it seems that there is a mistake in the command. Instead of using curly braces {}, it should use square brackets [] to enclose the URL.

A correct version of the command would be:

wget https://example.com/foo

Here's an explanation of the corrected command:

  • wget: It stands for "web get" and is a command-line utility for downloading files from the internet.
  • https://example.com/foo: This is the URL of the file you want to download. Replace example.com with the actual domain name and foo with the specific file name or path you intend to download.

By running this command, wget will make a network request to the specified URL and download the file to the current directory on your local machine.

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.
