JHipster is a development platform and a command-line tool used to generate, develop, and deploy web applications and microservices. It is commonly used for building modern web-based applications using popular technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Angular, and React.

The command "jhipster" is used to initialize a JHipster project. When executed in the command line or terminal, it prompts the user to answer a series of questions related to the application they want to create. These questions include the type of application (monolithic or microservices), the programming language preference, database configuration, authentication method, and various other options.

Based on the user's answers, JHipster generates a scaffolded application with a recommended project structure, pre-configured configurations, and the necessary codebase to start building the application. It sets up the development environment, including all the dependencies, build tools, and configuration files.

Overall, the "jhipster" command is an entry point to generating and scaffolding a JHipster application, providing a starting point for the developer to begin building their web application or microservices architecture.
