The npm-check command is a tool used to check the status of installed packages in a Node.js project and provides options to update them.

When you run npm-check in the terminal, it scans the node_modules directory in your project and compares the installed packages with the latest versions available in the remote registry. It then displays a list of installed packages along with their current versions and the latest versions available.

The command provides prompts for each package to allow you to choose whether to update, skip, or ignore individual packages. You can use various options to perform different actions, such as updating all packages, ignoring selected packages, or installing missing packages.

In summary, npm-check is a command-line tool that helps you easily monitor and update packages in your Node.js project, providing an overview of the current status of packages and the ability to update them as needed.
