puppet help

Most commands on Unix-like operating systems provide a manual or man page. The man page provides information on the available options and general guidance on using the command. Puppet initially chose not to follow this standard and instead used the help argument when calling the puppet command to specify documentation. Recent versions of Puppet have included manual pages for specific subcommands of the Puppet command-line tool. To access an individual manual page, type man puppet-[subcommand]. For example, to access the manual page on using puppet help, use man puppet-help. You can also access the same manual page using puppet man help.

The available help topics for a recent edition of Puppet are shown in the following screenshot:
