The command git -c '${config-key}=${value}' ${subcommand} is used to execute a Git command while setting a specific configuration option temporarily.

Here's a breakdown of the different parts:

• git: The main command used to interact with Git repositories.
• -c '${config-key}=${value}': This argument sets a specific configuration option temporarily. The ${config-key} placeholder needs to be replaced with the actual configuration key you want to set, and ${value} should be replaced with the desired value for that key. The configuration option set with this argument will only be valid during the current execution of the git command.
• ${subcommand}: This is the actual Git subcommand you want to execute. Subcommands are actions or operations you perform on a Git repository, such as commit, push, pull, etc.

By using the -c option, you can override or modify the Git configuration temporarily for a single command without permanently changing the repository's configuration. This is useful if you want to test or experiment with different configurations without affecting the overall repository settings.
