The command dolt commit --author "${author_name} <${author_email}>" is used to create a new commit in a Dolt repository, with a specified author name and email.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

• dolt commit: This is the main command to create a new commit in Dolt. It is used to save changes made to the repository as a new commit.
• --author "${author_name} <${author_email}>": This is an optional flag used to specify the author of the commit. It consists of the author's name and email, enclosed in double quotes. The values of author_name and author_email are typically variables that should be replaced with actual values when executing the command. The format is Author Name <email@example.com>, following the conventional format used in Git.

Essentially, this command is used to create a new commit with a specific author name and email, allowing you to attribute the changes to a particular individual.
