What is happening here

Everything happens in a subshell so it shouldn't affect your shell stuff.

  • changes directory to "/tmp"
  • curls the github pages IP address with the proper Host header set so it knows to serve the brooklynjs.com page
  • pipes the output to a file, "brooklynjs.html"
  • figures out whether to use open or xdg-open to open the file
  • uses the result of above to open the file
  • sleeps 3 seconds becauses open doesn't block, then deletes the file
