What does the command 'terraform workspace show' do?

The command 'terraform workspace show' is specifically designed to display the name of the current workspace that Terraform is operating in. Workspaces in Terraform allow for multiple instances of the same configuration to be maintained separately within the same backend. When you run this command, it outputs the name of the workspace currently in use.

This is particularly useful in scenarios where you might be managing different environments (like development, staging, and production) using the same codebase but want to keep their state separated to avoid conflicts. Knowing the current workspace helps users ensure that they are applying changes to the intended environment.

Regarding the other choices, they do not accurately describe the functionality of this command: creating a new workspace, listing all available workspaces, and deleting a workspace are actions associated with other commands within Terraform.
