The command "hg --version" is used to check the version of the Mercurial command-line tool (also known as "hg"). When you run "hg --version" in the command prompt or terminal, it will display information about the version of the installed Mercurial tool on your system. The output typically includes the version number, release date, and additional details like supported extensions or features. This command is helpful to ensure that you have the correct version of Mercurial installed and to verify compatibility with specific features or plugins.
