I also check the module command by 'puppet module --help' and I could not find the generate action:

Is there any alternative way to generate your own puppet module? Thanks. [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/zwqQi.png [2]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/03Doj.png

Answer 1

Puppet module generate - the action of generate does not exist in puppet module command

Yes, the generate action is no longer supported by puppet module. That command is now better focused, as a module management tool only.

Behavior comparable to that that used to be available from puppet module generate is now available from the Puppet Development Kit (PDK) as pdk new module <modname>.

If you have configured the Puppet platform repository on your CentOS 7 system then you should be able to get PDK via sudo yum install pdk.
