The command "php-cs-fixer fix --dry-run" is used to check and display the potential fixes that would be applied to PHP code files by the PHP CS Fixer tool without actually modifying the files.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

"php-cs-fixer" is the name of the command or executable script used to run the PHP CS Fixer tool.
"fix" is a subcommand of the PHP CS Fixer tool, which is used to fix the issues in PHP code files automatically.
"--dry-run" is an option or flag that instructs the PHP CS Fixer tool to perform a trial run without making any actual changes to the files. It allows you to review the proposed modifications before applying them, so you can ensure that the changes are as expected and won't introduce any unintended consequences.

Running this command will display a report highlighting the code issues that would be fixed if you were to execute the command without the "--dry-run" option. The report typically includes information about the modifications that would be made, such as the file names, number of changed lines, and the applied fixes for each file.
