The command "pygmentize ${file-py}" is a command that uses a program called "pygmentize" to syntax highlight the contents of a Python file.

Here is an explanation of the different parts of the command:

"pygmentize": This is the name of the program that is being run. Pygmentize is a syntax highlighting tool that can be used for various programming languages.
"${file-py}": This is an argument that specifies the file to be syntax highlighted. The "${file-py}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the Python file. The ".py" extension at the end indicates that it is a Python file.

When this command is executed, pygmentize will open the specified Python file and analyze its contents to determine the programming language. It will then apply syntax highlighting, which means that it will add color and formatting to the code to make it more readable and distinguish different elements of the code, such as keywords, variables, and comments.
