I was able to download a couple videos about 2 months ago but I forgot the commands. So i came back to the git and then tried to download a video but I'm getting this:
fish: No matches for wildcard 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dog-phGbm4'.
youtube-dl -f mp4 url https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dog-phGbm4
Could someone explain to me what I'm doing incorrectly.

Your shell is interpreting the question mark and trying to match it to a file. Put the URL in quotes to avoid that:

youtube-dl -f mp4 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Dog-phGbm4'
