The command "git verify-commit" is used to verify the integrity and authenticity of a commit in Git version control system. It ensures that the commit has not been tampered with or modified since it was created.

The command takes one or more commit hashes as arguments, separated by spaces. The commit hash is a unique identifier for a specific commit in Git.

The command will verify each specified commit and provide information about its validity. It checks the commit's cryptographic signature to ensure it matches with the commit's contents and the author's identity.

The argument ${commit_hash1 optional_commit_hash2 ---} means that you can provide one or more commit hashes as arguments to the command. The "---" indicates the end of the list of commit hashes. The word "optional" implies that you can omit the second commit hash if desired.
