Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When users issue
--help
for an osc subcommand that is internally implemented as an alias, they get a wall of text, most of which might seem completely unrelated to the osc subcommand they are interested in. Users are forced to sift through this text to find the bits that relate to the subcommand for which they asked for help.Describe the solution you'd like
The output of
osc foo --help
should only pertain tofoo
, and not to any other subcommands, even iffoo
is internally implemented as an alias.Describe alternatives you've considered
None.

and are forced to read through all of it to find theshell
bits they are interested in.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
