yt-dlp: Download a video or playlist (with the default options from command below).
$ yt-dlp "${https:--www-youtube-com-watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0}"
try on your machine

The command you have provided is not clear. It seems to be a mixture of two commands - yt-dlp and a URL in a variable format.

yt-dlp is a command-line program used to download videos from various websites, including YouTube. It is an enhanced version of youtube-dl with added features and bug fixes.

The variable format ${https:--www-youtube-com-watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0} is not a valid command or syntax.

However, if you were trying to use yt-dlp to download a video from YouTube, the correct command would be:

yt-dlp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

In this command, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0 is the URL of the YouTube video you want to download. yt-dlp would use this URL to fetch and download the video file.

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.
