# version
```markdown
Usage: docker version [OPTIONS]
Show the Docker version information
Options:
-f, --format string Format the output using the given Go template
--help Print usage
--kubeconfig string Kubernetes config file
```
## Description
By default, this will render all version information in an easy to read
layout. If a format is specified, the given template will be executed instead.
Go's [text/template](http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/) package
describes all the details of the format.
## Examples

### Print the current context
The following example prints the currently used [`docker context`](context.md):
```console
$ docker version --format='{{.Client.Context}}'
default
```
As an example, this output can be used to dynamically change your shell prompt
to indicate your active context. The example below illustrates how this output
could be used when using Bash as your shell.
Declare a function to obtain the current context in your `~/.bashrc`, and set
this command as your `PROMPT_COMMAND`
```console
function docker_context_prompt() {
PS1="context: $(docker version --format='{{.Client.Context}}')> "
}
PROMPT_COMMAND=docker_context_prompt
```
After reloading the `~/.bashrc`, the prompt now shows the currently selected
`docker context`:
```console
$ source ~/.bashrc
context: default> docker context create --docker host=unix:///var/run/docker.sock my-context
my-context
Successfully created context "my-context"
context: default> docker context use my-context
my-context
Current context is now "my-context"
context: my-context> docker context use default
default
Current context is now "default"
context: default>
```
Refer to the [`docker context` section](context.md) in the command line reference
for more information about `docker context`.
