# guild version

> Show the Guild CLI version.

Show the CLI version.

```bash theme={null}
guild version
```

Use the `--simple` flag with `guild version` to print only the bare version number followed by a newline, with no additional decoration. This makes the output easy to capture in scripts.

```bash theme={null}
guild version --simple                     # Output only the version number, e.g. 0.16.0
GUILD_VERSION=$(guild version --simple)    # Capture the version in a script
```
