django-admin: Check the current version of Django.
$ django-admin --version
try on your machine

The command "django-admin --version" is used to determine the version of Django installed on your computer.

When you run this command in the command line, the "django-admin" part refers to the Django admin script, which is a command-line tool provided by Django to perform various administrative tasks.

The "--version" flag is a built-in option for the admin script that is used to display the version information of Django. When you include this flag, Django's version number is printed on the console.

This command is helpful when you want to check the exact version of Django installed on your system, which can be essential when troubleshooting or when dealing with compatibility issues between different Django versions.
