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

Curl to download a file is one of those tools you’ll use all the time once you get comfy with it. Here’s a quick example: `curl -O https://example.com/file.zip`. That’ll save it in your current folder.

If you wanna see the progress, add `--progress-bar`. And if the server requires a specific user agent, you can use `-A "User-Agent-String"`.

Also, if you’re on Windows, check out https://git-scm.com/. It comes with Curl and a bunch of other CLI tools.
