puppet: Check the Puppet version.

puppet

$ puppet --version

try on your machine

The command "puppet --version" is used to display the version of Puppet installed on a system.

Puppet is a configuration management tool that helps automate tasks related to system administration, such as managing the configuration files, installing software packages, and maintaining system states. It allows administrators to define the desired state of their systems declaratively, and Puppet takes care of managing and enforcing that state.

When you run the command "puppet --version", it queries the Puppet installation on your system and displays the version number of the Puppet software that is currently installed. This information can be useful for troubleshooting, compatibility checks, or ensuring that you are using the desired version of Puppet.
