Research direction
The issue requests a new CLI command 'ipfs pull' to fetch objects from remote hosts. The command should accept a URL like 'ipfs.jero.my:8080/QmBlah'. Start by examining existing commands in the 'core/commands' directory of the ipfs/kubo repository. Look at how commands like 'ipfs add' or 'ipfs get' are implemented to understand the pattern. The implementation likely needs to parse the URL, connect to the specified host, and pull the content using the IPFS protocol. Check if there are any related discussions in the single comment (comment #1) for additional context. Ensure the command follows the existing CLI framework.
