xdg-open: Open a URL in the default browser.
$ xdg-open ${https:--example-com}
try on your machine
The command xdg-open is a utility in Linux systems that is used to open a file, folder, or URL using the default application associated with that type of file or URL.
In the command xdg-open ${https:--example-com}, the ${https:--example-com} part is a variable or parameter. It specifies the URL that you want to open. However, the syntax seems to be incorrect as the variable should not be enclosed in curly braces.
Assuming we correct the syntax, the command should be: xdg-open https://example.com
This command will open the URL "https://example.com" in the default web browser configured on your Linux system. The xdg-open command will identify the default web browser and pass the URL to it for handling.
