+### <a name="list"></a> List targets and variables (--list)
+
+The `--list` flag displays all available targets or variables in the Bake
+configuration, along with a description (if set using the `description`
+property in the Bake file).
+
+To list all targets:
+
+```console {title="List targets"}
+$ docker buildx bake --list=targets
+TARGET              DESCRIPTION
+binaries
+default             binaries
+update-docs
+validate
+validate-golangci   Validate .golangci.yml schema (does not run Go linter)
+```
+
+To list variables:
+
+```console
+$ docker buildx bake --list=variables
+VARIABLE      VALUE                DESCRIPTION
+REGISTRY      docker.io/username   Registry and namespace
+IMAGE_NAME    my-app               Image name
+GO_VERSION    <null>
+```
+
+By default, the output of `docker buildx bake --list` is presented in a table
+format. Alternatively, you can use a long-form CSV syntax and specify a
+`format` attribute to output the list in JSON.
+
+```console
+$ docker buildx bake --list=type=targets,format=json
+```

 ### <a name="metadata-file"></a> Write build results metadata to a file (--metadata-file)
