The command "brittany --write-mode=inplace ${*-hs}" is a command that uses the tool "brittany" to format Haskell source code files.

Let's break it down:

"brittany" is a code formatting tool for Haskell. It automatically formats Haskell source code according to a specified style guide.
"--write-mode=inplace" is an option for the "brittany" tool. It specifies that the tool should modify the input files in-place, i.e., the formatted code will overwrite the original code within the same file.
"${*-hs}" is a shell parameter expansion. It is used to refer to the arguments passed to the command. In this case, it appears to be referring to a list of Haskell source code files.

Overall, this command will take the specified Haskell source code files as input, format them using the "brittany" tool, and overwrite the original files with the formatted versions.
