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

Whats curl? It’s a CLI tool that’s been around forever.

People use it for everything—APIs, scraping, debugging. It’s lightweight and works everywhere.

If you’re just starting, don’t stress. You can totally copy-paste commands and tweak them.

Pro tip: Use `curl -O [URL]` to download files.
