The command "rmlint --merge-directories ${path-to-directory}" is used to merge duplicate files and directories within a specified directory using the rmlint tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "rmlint" is the name of the command-line tool that is being executed.
  • "--merge-directories" is an option or flag passed to the rmlint tool, indicating that the directories should be merged.
  • "${path-to-directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to perform the merge on.

Overall, this command instructs the rmlint tool to merge all duplicate files and directories within the specified directory using its merge feature.
