Not Sure What a Linux Command Will Do to Your System? Ask ChatGPT or Google Gemini

Several Linux terminal screens shown stacked behind each other. The front most one has run the ls command to list a directory contents.
You’ve likely heard you should never run a command or script that you don’t fully understand in the Linux terminal (or any command line). Unfortunately, the syntax for command-line apps can be tricky to break down and understand. Here’s how ChatGPT or Google Gemini can help.

They both give an excellent break-down for what each parameter does. I often use them in reverse, and get them to help give the correct parameters to do something with, for example FFmpeg. Just bear in mind, they do sometimes get this wrong.
