Newbie to ruby

I see this particular string 'ENDSCRIPT' being used in our codebase

 def update_existing_checkout(project)

  <<-ENDSCRIPT
    cd "#{base_dir}/#{project}" do
      sh_with_monitoring "git reset --hard"
      sh_with_monitoring "git fetch"
      sh_with_monitoring "git fetch --tags"
      sh_with_monitoring "git co #{@git_branch} "
      sh_with_monitoring "git merge origin/#{@git_branch}" unless is_tag?(pwd, "#{@git_branch}" )
    end
  ENDSCRIPT

 end

I can't find any documentation or any previous questions which explain this. May I know what this means and why this is used? thanks
