What this snippet does
-L forwards a local port to a service reachable from the remote host, and -N skips the shell.
Expected output
psql -h localhost -p 5433 now reaches the remote database
Why practise typing this
Typing ssh & remote code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Linux uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
