yay: Interactively search and install packages from the repos and AUR.
$ yay ${select}
try on your machine

The command "yay ${select}" is utilizing the variable "select" within a script or command line environment.

Here's how it works:

  • The "${select}" is a reference to the value stored in the variable "select".
  • When the command is executed, the value of "select" will be substituted in place of "${select}".

For example, if "select" is set to "install", the command would become: "yay install". The actual execution of the command will depend on the context and what "yay" represents. However, this command suggests that "yay" is a command or script accepting an argument or option represented by the value of the "select" variable.

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.
