git: Check the Git version.
$ git --version
try on your machine

The command "git --version" refers to a Git command that outputs the version of Git installed on your computer.

When you execute this command in your command prompt or terminal, it retrieves the information about the Git version and displays it in the output. This is useful to check if Git is installed and to verify the current version being used.
