[SOLVED] What is the -y flag used for in apt-get install?

Issue

What does the -y flag do when you're running apt-get install?

Example, from https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions:

sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

Solution

It skips the confirmation of the installation. When you install a package, Ubuntu asks for confirmation (Y/N). With -y, Ubuntu does not ask.
