This command is using the "stow" program to manage symbolic links in a specific directory. Here is the breakdown of the command:
- "stow": Refers to the stow program, which is a popular tool for managing symbolic links in UNIX-like systems.
- "--restow": Indicates that the stow program should update existing symbolic links if they already exist.
- "--target=${path-to-target_directory}": Specifies the directory where the symbolic links will be created. "${path-to-target_directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the target directory.
- "${file1 directory1 file2 directory2}": Represents the list of files and directories that will be managed by stow. These are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual names or paths of the files and directories.
Overall, this command is telling the stow program to create or update symbolic links for the specified files and directories, using the specified target directory for storing these links. The "--restow" option ensures that any existing links are updated if necessary.
