$ git contrib ${author}

try on your machine

The command "git contrib ${author}" is not a standard Git command. The "${author}" part suggests that it is a placeholder for the name of a contributor. Without further context or specific information about the purpose or implementation of this command, it is not possible to give a definitive explanation.

However, based on the naming convention, it might be a custom Git alias or a script that has been created by the user to perform some specific functionality related to contributors. It is likely that the command takes a contributor's name (provided as the "${author}" variable) and performs some operations specific to that contributor.

To get more information about this command, you could look for documentation or any scripts in your Git repository that use this command or ask the person or team who provided the command for clarification.

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.
