The command "jhipster --skip-server" is used in the context of JHipster, which is a development tool that generates full-stack web applications.

By running this command, you are telling JHipster to skip the generation of the backend server code. Normally, when you create a JHipster application, it generates both the frontend and the backend server together. However, in some cases, you may want to skip the server code generation if you already have an existing backend server or if you only need the frontend code.

Skipping the server code generation allows you to focus on generating and scaffolding the frontend (UI) components of the application without having to deal with the backend server logic.

Note that by skipping the server, you will not be able to run the application out of the box because it will be missing the server-side functionality. So, this command is useful when you want to use an independent backend server or when you only need the UI part of the application.
