Linux/Mac Terminal Tutorial: How To Use The cURL Command

In this Linux/Mac terminal tutorial, we will be learning how to use the cURL command. The curl command allows us to query URLs from the command line. Not only can we make regular requests, but we can POST data, authenticate users, save responses to files, and many other useful actions. Let's get started.

Really nice contents, curl -Z or --parallel is another handy command which downloads files in parallel, up to 50 threads by default.

hahahaha!!! I downloaded, via curl, my main.cpp file from my Github repo, lol. So cool!!! One of the best Youtube channels out there, thank you : )
Edit: but it came as HTML? Interesting.

hey Corey, nice video! you mentioned one can use curl to pass cookies and authenticate users. My question is what is the command to add the cookie part to the URL (any URL, as the auth cookie is always the same in my case) and how do I add different queries to my URL? Thank you in advance!

I was wondering if curl was able to merge files. For instance; i have a folder in my computer with files with it. Let’s say the dev makes an update of some files, can curl merge the new files by comparing the local with the remote ones ?

In short; can curl update folders without having to replace everything.
