Support multiple args

[jedahan]

Especially for pages with subcommands, i.e. tldr git checkout would be great

[dbrgn]

Are there already any tldr pages for subcommands like that? I haven't found any.

If you want such a feature, you should probably open an issue at the main project. If they start supporting subcommands, then I'd be willing to add support for them 🙂

[jedahan]

It came from tldr-pages/tldr#2699 - the node.js and bash clients support it, and upstream says its a client feature to coerce "git checkout" to git-checkout

[jedahan]

Specifically, they are thinking of adding it to the client spec tldr-pages/tldr#2699 (comment)

[dbrgn]

Oh, it appears that I looked in the wrong location and didn't see all those git subcommands among the tldr pages, sorry!

Thanks for the two links, in that case I think this is a valid feature request 🙂 I don't have time to implement it at the moment, but pull requests are welcome.

Should be quite straightforward to implement, the main thing is figuring out how docopt handles variable arguments. Probably something like <command..>.

If it makes things easier, I'd also be open for moving to clap for argument parsing.

[jedahan]

I wouldn't mind a move to clap if it improved the performance of tealdeer, though I'm not sure if it would.

[dbrgn]

I don't think clap would affect performance a lot, but it does bring more flexibility.

But Docopt is really nice too.

It might actually be faster o_O BurntSushi/ripgrep#233
