try on your machine

The command xh ${httpbin-org-get} is using the xh command-line tool to make an HTTP GET request to the httpbin.org website.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

xh: It refers to the xh command or executable, which is likely an abbreviation for "httpie-extras." xh is a user-friendly cURL replacement tool with additional features for making HTTP requests. It simplifies the process of interacting with HTTP-based APIs and websites from the command line.
${httpbin-org-get}: It is a placeholder or reference to an environment variable named httpbin-org-get. The actual value of this variable would be the expanded URL or endpoint that needs to be called.

In summary, the command is running the xh tool, passing the value of the environment variable httpbin-org-get as the URL to make an HTTP GET request to that endpoint. The purpose and response of the command depend on the specific value assigned to the httpbin-org-get environment variable.
