Hi,

I looked in the docs but I didn't find a way to group commands in the help similar to what kubectl does:

Settings Commands:

label Update the labels on a resource

annotate Update the annotations on a resource

completion Output shell completion code for the specified shell (bash or zsh)

Other Commands:

api-resources Print the supported API resources on the server

api-versions Print the supported API versions on the server, in the form of "group/version"

config Modify kubeconfig files

plugin Provides utilities for interacting with plugins.

version Print the client and server version information

Is there a way I haven't spotted?

Yes, this is possible with the Help API.

See this example:

Excellent will give it a try.

btw. with jbang 0.42 you can now run that demo directly without it adapting jbang syntax:

Just realized that little usecase now so thought I would share ;)

I just saw that on Twitter when I woke up.
