pulumi-version

The pulumi-version command displays the version of the Pulumi CLI (Command Line Interface) currently installed on your system. It provides a quick and easy way to determine the version, build date, and commit hash of the Pulumi installation. This information is crucial for troubleshooting, ensuring compatibility with Pulumi cloud resources and libraries, and reporting issues to the Pulumi team.

Knowing the Pulumi version helps in understanding available features and bug fixes. When reporting a bug, the version is a critical piece of information. Similarly, when following tutorials or example code, knowing the Pulumi version guarantees compatibility with the documentation.

The command requires that the Pulumi CLI is installed and configured correctly to be executed. Without a proper installation, the command will not function as expected and likely return an error. It will also not work if the Pulumi executable is not in the system's PATH.

The output of pulumi-version is typically a single line containing the version information in a human-readable format. An example output may be like: v3.98.0 or v3.98.0-rc.1. When using pulumi version --json, the output would be like: {"version":"v3.98.0"}.

To display the Pulumi CLI version:
pulumi version

To display the version in JSON format:
pulumi version --json

To integrate the version number with other commands (for example, a script):
pulumi version | grep -o '[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*'
