The `brave` command launches the Brave web browser. It provides a command-line interface for opening web pages, managing browser profiles, and controlling various aspects of the browser's functionality. It acts as a wrapper around the core Brave browser application, passing command-line arguments to the browser process. This allows users to automate tasks, open specific URLs directly from the terminal, or integrate Brave with other command-line tools and scripts.

Brave focuses on privacy-respecting browsing by blocking trackers and unwanted ads by default. The command line access enables integration with other tools and scripts in automated environments.

The specific command-line options and their behavior might vary slightly depending on the Brave browser version. It's recommended to consult the `brave --help` output for the most up-to-date information.
The exact set of options can be found in the chromium documentation.

The `--profile-directory` option is useful for managing separate browser profiles. This allows you to isolate browsing data, such as cookies and history, between different users or purposes. For example, you could have one profile for work and another for personal use.

The `brave` command is relatively new, appearing with the development of the Brave browser. It provides a standardized CLI to access and modify brave browser settings.
