Change 'usage:' to 'Usage:' #127

Closed Treppenhouse closed 5 years ago

Treppenhouse commented 6 years ago

In the default help text, both "Optional arguments:" and "Examples:" start with an upper-case letter.

For consistency reasons, the literal "usage:" should therefore be changed to "Usage:".

I looked through some of the --help pages of popular linux commands like ls, cp, mkdir, mv, rm, etc. and they all use "Usage:" instead of "usage:".

We should use the same phrases as upstream, because this is a port. Does upstream use capitalisation or not?

Treppenhouse commented 5 years ago

With 'upstream' do you mean the Python project? If so, they do indeed use the lower case variant...

(I definitely think it's an inconsistency on their part as well.)

If the purpose of this JavaScript implementation is to strictly follow the python implementation's behaviour then I guess we can close the issue.
