The command "xdg-open ." is used to open the current directory (denoted by the dot ".") in the default file manager or graphical interface program of your Linux distribution.
When the command is executed, the file manager associated with the XDG (X Desktop Group) specifications will be launched, typically Finder in GNOME-based systems or Nautilus in Ubuntu. The file manager will display the contents of the current directory, allowing you to perform various operations like browsing files and folders, opening files, deleting or moving items, and more.
In summary, "xdg-open ." simply opens the current directory in your default file manager, providing a graphical interface to manage and navigate through your files.
