List all tags

Is there an easy/efficient way to list all the tags rather than the list of
tags for a given node(s)? I suppose I could list all the tags for all nodes and
build a unique list of those.

Apologies for this naive question because I am new to Chef and Ruby but I
failed to find an answer via on-line search of Chef documentation and the
mailing list archive. Thanks.

'knife search node "tags:*" -a tags' or equivalent in a recipe (etc).
Search for all nodes with any tags and print the tags attribute.

Cheers,

AJ

Great, thanks AJ.

I do not know (yet) how to get/use it inside Chef/shef but given the
output format, the following commands give me the list of all tags with
nothing more and nothing less.

knife search node tags:* -a tags | sed ‘1d;/^$/d’ | egrep -v
"^id:|^tags:" | sort | uniq | tr -d ’ ’
