try on your machine

The command you provided is written in shell scripting language and consists of two parts:

sops -e ${path-to-myfile-json}:

sops is a command-line tool used for encrypting and decrypting files using the Mozilla SOPS (Secrets OPerationS) format. The -e flag specifies that we want to encrypt the file.

${path-to-myfile-json} is a placeholder representing the path to the input file you want to encrypt in JSON format. You need to replace ${path-to-myfile-json} with the actual path to your JSON file.

> ${path-to-myfile-enc-json}:

> is a shell operator used for redirecting the output of a command.

${path-to-myfile-enc-json} is a placeholder representing the path to the output file where the encrypted JSON file will be saved. You need to replace ${path-to-myfile-enc-json} with the actual path where you want the encrypted JSON file to be stored.

So, when you run this command, it will encrypt the JSON file specified by ${path-to-myfile-json} and save the encrypted version to the file specified by ${path-to-myfile-enc-json}.
