Description
Describe the feature
Right now the required arg Usage looks as follow in the screenshot: (taken from repo playground)
Running npx tsx ./playground/cli.ts build --hmr 5 --workDir HERE in the citty repo:
This makes it seems like the [ENTRY] is where the work dir input should go.
The screenshot with the positional entry makes it even more confusing. The angle brackets are typically used to show the placeholder of the preceeding -- arg
From googling around it seems the more common way is to have the usage show (example):
Usage:
my-cli --timeout <ms> [--optional <path>]
Usage:
my-cli --timeout ms <entry>
Optionality denoted with square bracket, but still showing a placeholder where the actual input goes (assuming the arg is NOT a boolean and requires an input). It seems the type of the input is often given as the placeholder value (although this would require another field in the arg spec of citty).
I like the upcasing for positional required args. But it always looks a bit confusing after a flag. Just wanted to leave that comment here.
