NAME
       puppet-generate - Generates Puppet code from Ruby definitions.

SYNOPSIS
       puppet generate action

OPTIONS
       Note that any setting that's valid in the configuration file is also a
       valid long argument, although it may or may not be relevant to the
       present action. For example, server and run_mode are valid settings, so
       you can specify --server <servername>, or --run_mode <runmode> as an
       argument.

       See the configuration file documentation at
       https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/configuration.html for the full
       list of acceptable parameters. A commented list of all configuration
       options can also be generated by running puppet with --genconfig.

       --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.

       --verbose
              Whether to log verbosely.

       --debug
              Whether to log debug information.

       current environment:



           $ puppet generate types
