About camelCase I am not so sure. Having camelCase --flags is just do not clicks in my head, can't explain it better.

I understand what you mean … true, hyphenated cli arguments are more common. But in #13 we switched the few cli arguments that were hyphenated to camelCase to match the others. Maybe we should have used hyphenated arguments instead?

Should we change all arguments again? But as soon as someone starts to use it in their scripts we should try to avoid to change it anymore. What do you think?

So yea, camelCase vs hyphenated-arguments?

The argument is: I can't remember any CLI software that uses camelCase arguments. Devs are lazy and we don't wanna press shift key when we don't need it :)

romibi commented 1 year ago

arguments against changing: backwards compatibility to existing scripts … I don't think there are many … so I think we can ignore that.

I'm fine with a PR … but I probably wont have time later today to merge another one.
