How do I use Curl to download a file from the command line?

Hey! Yeah, using Curl to download a file is pretty straightforward. The basic command is `curl [URL]`, but if you want to save the file with a specific name, you can use `-o` like this: `curl -o filename.ext [URL]`.

By default, the file content just gets printed to the terminal, so you’ll wanna use `-o` to save it. Also, check out the `-O` flag if you want to keep the original filename from the URL.

For more tips, I’d recommend checking out the Curl man page (`man curl`) or sites like https://curl.se/docs/manual.html. Super helpful!
