Getting help
Help menus
The --help
flag can be used to view the help menu for a command, e.g., for uv
:
$ uv --help
To view the help menu for a specific command, e.g., for uv init
:
$ uv init --help
When using the --help
flag, uv displays a condensed help menu. To view a longer help menu for a
command, use uv help
:
$ uv help
To view the long help menu for a specific command, e.g., for uv init
:
$ uv help init
When using the long help menu, uv will attempt to use less
or more
to "page" the output so it is
not all displayed at once. To exit the pager, press q
.
Viewing the version
When seeking help, it's important to determine the version of uv that you're using — sometimes the problem is already solved in a newer version.
To check the installed version:
$ uv self version
The following are also valid:
$ uv --version # Same output as `uv self version`
$ uv -V # Will not include the build commit and date
!!! note
Before uv 0.7.0, `uv version` was used instead of `uv self version`.
Troubleshooting issues
The reference documentation contains a troubleshooting guide for common issues.
Open an issue on GitHub
The issue tracker on GitHub is a good place to report bugs and request features. Make sure to search for similar issues first, as it is common for someone else to encounter the same problem.
Chat on Discord
Astral has a Discord server, which is a great place to ask questions, learn more about uv, and engage with other community members.
