A Quick Tutorial on the curl Command

 The curl command is a versatile tool used in the command line for transferring data to or from a server using various protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It allows you to make requests to web servers, download files, or send data with ease. For instance, using curl https://example.com will fetch and display the HTML content of a webpage in the terminal. You can also download files by using the -O option, like curl -O https://example.com/file.zip. Furthermore, curl supports sending data with POST requests, which can be done by using the -X POST flag, such as curl -X POST -d "username=user&password=pass" https://example.com/login. With its wide range of options, curl is an essential tool for developers and system administrators to interact with web services and APIs directly from the command line
