The command "git range-diff ${commit_1}^! ${commit_2}^!" is used to compare two ranges of commits in a Git repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• "git range-diff" is a Git command that shows differences between two commit ranges.
• "${commit_1}^!" represents the commit range, where ${commit_1} is the starting commit of the first range. The "^!" is an extended commit notation that means excluding the referenced commit itself and only including its parents.
• "${commit_2}^!" represents the commit range, where ${commit_2} is the starting commit of the second range. Again, the "^!" notation is used to exclude the referenced commit itself.

In simple terms, the command compares the changes between two ranges of commits, excluding the starting commits themselves. This can be useful in understanding the differences and changes made between two sets of commits in a Git repository.
