For future noobs (like me): to get the above response, enter the following your terminal:
`cardano-cli query tip --testnet-magic 1097911063`
(the testnet-magic number might have to be updated)

You can use a remote API such as blockfrost.io.

Since cardano-cli version 1.28.0, the syncProgress can be checked directly:


$ cardano-cli query tip --testnet-magic 2

{
    "epoch": 234,
    "hash": "f9eb71ac5de435b1e5c53d691cb03a4242c9cdc13f7782738e9a727a6a60aa73",
    "slot": 1684260,
    "block": 82557,
    "era": "Alonzo",
    "syncProgress": "100.00"
}
