Whats curl? Can someone explain how it works? or Newbie here: whats curl and why is it useful?

Curl is your Swiss Army knife for the internet, lol. It’s a command-line tool that does HTTP requests, FTP, and way more.

Why use it? Well, browsers are great for humans, but curl is for machines. Need to automate something? Scrape data? Test a backend? Curl’s your friend.

Example: `curl -v https://google.com` shows you all the hidden details of the request/response. Super handy for debugging.

Check out [Postman](https://www.postman.com/) too if you want a GUI alternative, but curl is OG.
