A codeshare is an agreement between two or more airline companies, in which they share a flight. This means they both advertise the flight using their own unique flight numbers. It is certainly a bit bizarre, but is used to allow companies to expand their marketing, and also give semblance of flying more routes than they may actually cover. For passengers, it allows some more complex routes to be booked through just one airline (although two or more will actually be relaying the passenger).
Bonus:
Codesharing typically takes place between carriers of the same airline alliance. Star Alliance is currently the biggest by the number of airlines: 27. They moved 641.1 million passengers in 2016, narrowly coming in second to SkyTeam, who managed 665.4 million.
