zsh:tldr:3128a

zsh: Execute a specific script, printing each command in the script before executing it.
$ zsh --xtrace ${path-to-script-zsh}
try on your machine

This command is used to run a script in the zsh shell (zsh is a popular Unix shell). Let's break down each component:

  • zsh: This is the command that starts the zsh shell.
  • --xtrace: This is an option for zsh that enables tracing of the script execution. It displays each command being executed, along with its output.
  • ${path-to-script-zsh}: This is the path to the zsh script that you want to run. Replace this part with the actual path to the zsh script on your system.

When you run this command, the zsh shell will be launched with the --xtrace option, and it will start executing the script specified by ${path-to-script-zsh}. During the execution, you will see the commands printed along with their output, which can be helpful for debugging purposes.

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.
