The command "elvish -c "${echo 'elvish is executed'}"" is used to run the Elvish interpreter in the command line with a specific script or command.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

"elvish": This is the actual command that runs the Elvish interpreter.
"-c": This option tells the Elvish interpreter to execute a script or command provided as an argument immediately.
"${echo 'elvish is executed'}": This part is the script or command that will be executed by the Elvish interpreter. In this case, it uses the echo command (which is a command commonly used to print text in the terminal) to output the string 'elvish is executed'. The use of double quotes and the curly braces (${}) is a way to expand the command within the command line.

So, when this command is executed, it will run the Elvish interpreter and execute the provided script/command, which in this case will print the text 'elvish is executed' in the terminal.
