  • "--config ${path-to-config-toml}": This flag specifies the path to the TOML configuration file that defines the formatting rules for the Snakefile. The "${path-to-config-toml}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to your TOML configuration file.

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