The command "snakefmt" is used to format Snakefiles, which are written using the Snakemake workflow management system.

The "${path-to-snakefile}" argument is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the Snakefile that you want to format.

When you run the "snakefmt" command with the path to a Snakefile, it will read the file and automatically format it according to the Snakemake formatting standards. This can help improve the readability and maintainability of your Snakefile by applying consistent formatting rules.

By using "snakefmt" to format your Snakefile, you can ensure that the file follows the recommended style guidelines, making it easier for yourself and others to understand and work with the workflow.
