try on your machine

The command "jupytext --set-formats ipynb,py ${notebook-ipynb}" is used to configure the file formats for Jupytext.

Jupytext is a tool that allows you to sync your Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb) files with plain text files (.py) in order to version control them or collaborate with others using a text-based format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"jupytext": This is the name of the command line tool jupytext. You need to have jupytext installed in order to use this command.
"--set-formats ipynb,py": This part of the command is used to set the file formats for Jupytext. The formats specified are "ipynb" (the Jupyter Notebook format) and "py" (the Python script format).
"${notebook-ipynb}": This is a placeholder for the name of the notebook file you want to sync. You need to replace "${notebook-ipynb}" with the actual file name and location, e.g., "/path/to/my-notebook.ipynb".

So, when you run this command with the appropriate values, Jupytext will be configured to sync the specified notebook file in both the ".ipynb" and ".py" formats. This means any changes made to the ".ipynb" file will also update the corresponding ".py" file and vice versa.
