The command you provided is likely a custom command or script called "delta." Without additional context or knowledge of the specific program or script being used, I can only make an educated guess about its functionality.
From the provided command, it appears that the "delta" command is designed to compare two files or directories and display the line numbers or changes between them. Here is a breakdown of the command structure:
- "delta": This is the name of the command or script being executed.
- "--line-numbers": It is likely a flag or an argument to specify that line numbers should be displayed when comparing the files or directories.
- "${path-to-old_file_or_directory}": This is a placeholder for the path to the old file or directory that you want to compare.
- "${path-to-new_file_or_directory}": This is a placeholder for the path to the new file or directory that you want to compare.
To use this command, you would replace "${path-to-old_file_or_directory}" and "${path-to-new_file_or_directory}" placeholders with the actual paths to the files or directories you want to compare.
