okay so this is puppet-generate — it Generates Puppet code from Ruby definitions. bestie, it's literally a code printer 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

puppet generate action

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

heads up bestie 🫶 any setting that´s valid in the configuration file is ALSO a valid long argument — like, it may or may not be relevant to the present action, but it's valid. for example, server and run_mode are valid settings, so you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an argument. no cap.

the full list of acceptable parameters lives in the configuration file documentation at https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html — and if you want a commented list of ALL the configuration options, just run puppet with --genconfig and it'll hand them over. iconic.

• --render-as FORMAT — the format in which to render output. the most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot are sometimes available. vibe check on your format before you commit, fr fr
• --verbose — whether to log verbosely. yes literally, that's it.
• --debug — whether to log debug information. for when you need the deep lore 👑
