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

Hey! Curl is a beast for downloading files. The basic command is `curl [URL]`, but to save it, you’ll need `-o` or `-O`.

If you’re downloading a file that’s behind a login, you can use `-u username:password` to authenticate.

Also, if you’re on Windows, check out https://cygwin.com/. It gives you a Linux-like environment with Curl pre-installed. Makes life way easier!
