This PR implements the feature requested in #1875, where you can specify the
--version
argument to print the version to the console. However, while implementing this, I found I had to remove theRequireSubcommand
attribute, as--version
is (rightfully) not considered a sub-command and having theRequireSubcommand
attribute would cause it to fail. The result of this change is of course that sub-commands are now not necessary, which I think is a bit odd. What do you think about this?The main problem is that #1875 suggests that the
--version
flags is used for displaying the version, but perhaps it should just be a regular subcommand?
