The given command is using the command-line tool gh to perform a GitHub workflow run with specific parameters.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

echo '${{"param1": "value1", "param2": "value2", ---}}': This portion is using the echo command to print the provided JSON payload. It represents the inputs or parameters for the GitHub workflow. It contains key-value pairs, where "param1" and "param2" are parameter names and "value1" and "value2" are their corresponding values. The --- represents additional parameters that may exist but were omitted for brevity.
|: The | character is a pipe operator that allows the output of the previous command to be used as input for the next command.
gh workflow run: This is the gh command to trigger the execution of a GitHub workflow.
${select}: It is a placeholder indicating that a variable or argument should be substituted here. The value for ${select} should be provided during command execution. It likely represents the name or ID of the GitHub workflow to run.
--ref ${select1}: This argument specifies the Git reference (e.g., branch, tag, commit) for the workflow run. Like ${select}, ${select1} is a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual value when executing the command.

Together, this command leverages echo to provide a JSON payload containing parameters, and then executes the GitHub workflow using gh workflow run, passing the provided parameters and Git reference.
