I hadn't worked with unix/linux much so I had to ask ChatGPT what programming language/scripting language the second code block was written in.

"The code you provided is a shell script, commonly used in Unix-based operating systems. It uses the "set" command to set shell options, "-eo pipefail" means that the script will exit immediately if any command fails and that it will propagate any error code through a pipeline."

"The script then declares four local variables using the "local" command, which are used to construct the name and location of a file that will be downloaded using the "curl" command. The script creates a directory using "mkdir -p" and then downloads a file from a remote URL and saves it to a local file using the ">" operator."
