The "hexo server" command is used in the Hexo static site generator to start a local development server.
When you run this command in your Hexo project's root directory, it will start a local web server on your computer. This server will serve your static website locally, which means you can access and preview your website using a web browser on your own machine.
Once the server is running, you can open a browser and navigate to "http://localhost:4000" (or a different port number if specified) to view your website.
This is particularly useful during the development of your website, as you can make changes to your Hexo project's source files and immediately see the updates in your browser without having to build and deploy the website each time.
