This command is using the "sops" tool to decrypt a JSON file. Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "sops": This is the name of the command-line tool being used.
- "-d": This option stands for "decrypt" and specifies that we want to decrypt the input file.
- "--input-type": This option indicates the type of input file being used.
- "json": This value specifies that the input file is in JSON format.
- "${path-to-myfile-enc-json}": This is a placeholder for the actual file path of the encrypted JSON file.
In summary, the command is invoking "sops" to decrypt a JSON file located at the specified file path.
