How do I check which version of sbt I'm running?

I have the bash file set up that uses sbt-launch.jar, and it works, but 

$ sbt version

only shows the "project version" (0.1) and 

$ sbt --version

does nothing.

$ sbt sbtVersion

This prints the sbt version used in your current project, or if it is a multi-module project for each module.

$ sbt 'inspect sbtVersion'
[info] Set current project to jacek (in build file:/Users/jacek/)
[info] Setting: java.lang.String = 0.13.1
[info] Description:
[info]  Provides the version of sbt.  This setting should be not be modified.
[info] Provided by:
[info]  */*:sbtVersion
[info] Defined at:
[info]  (sbt.Defaults) Defaults.scala:68
[info] Delegates:
[info]  *:sbtVersion
[info]  {.}/*:sbtVersion
[info]  */*:sbtVersion
[info] Related:
[info]  */*:sbtVersion

You may also want to use sbt about that (copying Mark Harrah's comment):

The about command was added recently to try to succinctly print the most relevant information, including the sbt version.
