The command "date /t" is used to display the current date on the command prompt or terminal window in the default format specified by the operating system.

The "/t" is an argument or switch that is used with the "date" command to indicate that only the date should be displayed and time should be excluded.

When you enter this command in the command prompt or terminal, it will simply show the current date without any additional information or formatting. The format of the date displayed will depend on the settings of your operating system.
