puppet: Display help for a subcommand.
$ puppet help ${subcommand}
try on your machine

The command "puppet help ${subcommand}" is used to get help and information about a specific subcommand within the Puppet tool.

Here's how it works:

  1. The "puppet" command initiates the Puppet tool, which is used for configuration management and automation.
  2. The "help" keyword is used to specify that you want help information.
  3. The "${subcommand}" is a placeholder that represents the specific subcommand for which you need help. You should replace "${subcommand}" with the actual subcommand you want to learn about.

For example, if you want help with the "apply" subcommand, you would run:

  • puppet help apply

This would provide you with detailed information about how to use the "apply" subcommand, including its options, syntax, and examples. It is a convenient way to quickly access documentation and learn about the various functionalities and capabilities of Puppet.
