Question

How do I check which version of SBT I’m running?

I have the Bash file set up that uses sbt-launch.jar, and it works, but

sbt version

only shows the "project version" (0.1) and

sbt --version

does nothing.

Answer 1

sbt --version

It now works as of version 1.3.3+ (credit to @ElectronWill).

You may also want to use sbt about that (copying Mark Harrah’s comment):

The about command was added recently to try to succinctly print the
most relevant information, including the sbt version.
