Additionally, it provides a prompt for quick access to the manual page or cheat sheet of the given command. If you deal with command-line tools often, it might take some time to figure out how to get help or check the version of a particular command (especially when shell completions are not available). In that case, you might try the most-known flags such as -h and -v but unfortunately not all the command-line tools follow these conventions (either due to conflicts with other flags or they just use another form). Instead of brute-forcing manually into getting help, you can run halp and it will check the following arguments for you: - for help : --help , -h , help , -H - for version info : --version , -v , version , -V If one of these arguments succeeds (with exit code 0), it prints the output and exits. This way, you can get informed about the version and help in one single command. You can also customize this list with a configuration file or provide a list of arguments via command-line arguments. On the other hand, if you really need help, you can use the plz subcommand which will prompt a selection for: 1. show the man page (runs man(1) ) 2. show the cheat sheet (via cheat.sh ) Table of Contents - Example - Installation - Cargo - Arch Linux - Docker - Images - Usage - Building - Binary releases - Build","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/orhun","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/orhun/halp/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
