The curl command pulls data from a URL into your terminal. So you can actually go to cheat.sh in a web browser to see what the output would be (also wouldn’t necessarily recommend doing this vs. blindly pasting commands, but in this case, perfectly safe!). It looks like a little Unix command helper tool.
Quick google shows it’s (likely) an aggregate cheat sheet for numerous resources which can be accessed via curl cheat.sh/ or curl cht.sh
(I haven’t confirmed this, verify the safety of all commands and code that you run on your system before you run it, don’t inherently trust someone else)
what does it do?
Lemme know if you find out please, I forgot the name of the reminder bot on Lemmy haha

Why wouldn’t you recommend this? As a novice, it seems to me like a safe way to check out what you’re actually pulling in through curl
