The command babel --help is used to display the help information or documentation for the Babel command-line tool. Babel is a popular JavaScript compiler that allows developers to write code in the latest version of JavaScript, which may not be fully supported by all browsers or environments, and then compiles it into backward-compatible versions.

When babel --help is executed in the command-line interface, it will display a list of available commands, options, and usage examples that can be used with the Babel tool. This information can help users understand and utilize the different features and capabilities of Babel effectively.

By reading the help documentation, users can learn about various options and features provided by Babel, such as configuring presets and plugins, specifying input and output file paths, transpiling modules, or transforming specific language features. Along with the help command, Babel offers a wide range of functionalities that can be leveraged to improve JavaScript code compatibility across different environments.
