$ gist --update ${GIST_ID} ${file-txt}

The command you provided seems to be a custom command that is specific to a particular system or application. Without more context or information about the system or application you are using, it is challenging to provide a precise explanation. However, I can provide a basic understanding of the command structure you provided.

Based on the command structure you shared, it seems to be using variables:

${GIST_ID}: This appears to be a variable that holds the identification or reference of a Gist. Gists are a feature of the GitHub platform that allows users to share and collaborate on code snippets or small code projects.
${file-txt}: This variable likely represents the name of a file, possibly a text file.

Combining the variables ${GIST_ID} and ${file-txt} with the rest of the command (gist --update) suggests that the command might be used to update a Gist with the content of the specified text file. However, the specific functionality, options, and behavior of this command can only be accurately determined by referring to the documentation or source code of the system or application you are using.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
