This command is used to apply a patch file to the current Git branch and display statistics about the changes made by the patch.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

git apply is the git command used to apply a patch file to the current branch.
--stat is an option used to display statistics about the changes made by the patch. It shows the number of modified files, insertions, and deletions.
--apply is an option specifying that the given file should be applied as a patch.
${filename} is a placeholder for the actual filename or path of the patch file that you want to apply.

To use this command, you would replace ${filename} with the actual path or filename of the patch file you want to apply. For example, if you have a patch file named my_patch.patch, the command would be git apply --stat --apply my_patch.patch.
