The command "json5 --space ${indent_amount}" relates to the usage of the "json5" tool with the specified parameter.

"json5" is a command-line tool that operates on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files. It allows you to manipulate, validate, and convert JSON files using various options and settings.

In this specific command, "--space" is an option provided by "json5" that determines the indentation level of the output JSON file. The "${indent_amount}" is a placeholder that likely needs to be replaced with an actual integer value representing the desired indentation amount.

For instance, if you want to have an indentation of 4 spaces in your output JSON file, you would replace "${indent_amount}" with the number 4.

To summarize, the command "json5 --space ${indent_amount}" is used to format the JSON file with a specific amount of indentation (spaces). The actual indentation value is provided as an argument after "--space" using "${indent_amount}".
