black: Format the code passed in as a string.

black

$ black -c "${code}"

try on your machine

The command "black -c "${code}"" is using the "black" tool with the "-c" flag to format and check the provided code.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"black": Refers to the name of the tool or command being executed. In this case, it is the "black" Python code formatter.
"-c": Stands for "check," it is a flag or option used with the "black" tool. When this flag is used, "black" will only check the code and report any formatting issues, without altering the original files.
"${code}": This is a placeholder for the path or content of the code that needs to be formatted or checked. It is often used as a variable or placeholder within a script or command, where the actual code will be substituted.

So when you run the command "black -c "${code}"" with the appropriate value for "${code}", it will use the "black" tool to check the provided code for any formatting issues without making any changes to the original files.
