Provide a `--help` command when calling `chasten` alone

[CalebKendra]

Right now when you run the command chasten an error message appears. the chasten command should show chasten --help's output just like other similar programs like pip.

Hi @CalebKendra, I think that this is a really good idea! Can you investigate how you would implement this feature? Finally, what type of information would you want to provide? Here is what I see when I type chasten --help:

╭─ Options ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ --install-completion          Install completion for the current      │
│                               shell.                                  │
│ --show-completion             Show completion for the current shell,  │
│                               to copy it or customize the             │

│ --help                        Show this message and exit.             │

what are you seeing? What would you expect? If there is something else that you would want, please document it here.

Hi Caleb, just a suggestion. I've seen some tools have this command tool --version. Perhaps we could integrate it into our program too?

[gkapfham]

Hi @Jaclynpqc, yes this is a really good idea. There is #12 that also hints at the need for a --version flag. Can one or both of you find out if the teams wants to implement this feature now and then get started on it?

[Jaclynpqc]

Yes, I could start finding an approach to this feature

Hi @Jaclynpqc, thanks! @CalebKendra, please consider whether or not you can help as well.

I will help with the --version after I fix this issue, however, this current issue is my priority

As for the details of this project, I would expect to see the exact same output that you get when inputting chasten --help, when you input chasten, In order to do this I have been experimenting with directing the chasten command without any option selected to point towards the chasten --help command. I am still looking for the cleanest solution to this problem as I do not want to have to re-create the chasten --help menu.
