tsc: Compile all `.ts` files of a TypeScript project defined in a `tsconfig.json` file.

$ tsc --build ${tsconfig-json}

The command tsc --build ${tsconfig-json} is used to build (compile) a TypeScript project using the TypeScript compiler (tsc). Let's break it down:

tsc: This is the executable command for the TypeScript compiler. It stands for "TypeScript Compiler".
--build: This is a flag that tells the TypeScript compiler to perform a project build. It instructs the compiler to read the configuration file and compile all the TypeScript files specified in that configuration.
${tsconfig-json}: This is a placeholder that represents the path to the tsconfig.json file. The tsconfig.json file is a configuration file for TypeScript projects that specifies how the project should be compiled. It contains compiler options, file inclusion/exclusion rules, and other project-specific settings.

So, when you run tsc --build ${tsconfig-json}, the TypeScript compiler will read the tsconfig.json file specified by ${tsconfig-json}, determine the project structure and dependencies, and compile all the necessary TypeScript files according to the configuration settings provided in the tsconfig.json file.
