Whats curl and why is everyone talking about it? or Can someone explain whats curl and how to use it?

Curl is a tool devs use to talk to servers. It’s like sending a text message to a website and getting a reply back.

You don’t *need* it unless you’re doing web dev or API stuff. But it’s super useful once you get the hang of it.

Start with basics like `curl -v [URL]` to see what’s happening under the hood.

Also, [this tutorial](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/t...o-use-curl) breaks it down nicely.
