How do I know which version of SBT I am running?

Question

When I run the version command in the sbt console it shows "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT". Is this the current sbt version?

I'm used the Getting Started guide on the SBT wiki to install sbt on my system.

The version command prints the version of the project you are building. You probably want sbt-version.

As of sbt 1.0, needs to be `sbt sbtVersion`. Hyphenated commands not supported anymore. (https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/sbt-1.0-Release-Notes.html) – Peter Krieg Sep 17 '18 at 15:00

To check version of the sbt that you are using:

$ sbt sbt-version

This is not true, it shows the version of sbt that is specified in the project, not the sbt version that is running. – kap Mar 30 '20 at 09:18
