'How can command list display be categorised within a Click chained group?
I'm starting a CLI pipe-type application project which will eventually have a rather large collection of commands (which will be further extensible with plug-in). As a result, I would like to categorise them in the --help text:
Here is how it looks now:
Usage: my_pipe [OPTIONS] COMMAND1 [ARGS]... [COMMAND2 [ARGS]...]...
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
another_filter help about that filter
another_generator help about that generator
another_sink help about that sink
some_filter help about this filter
some_generator help about this generator
some_sink help about this sink
This is more or less how I would like it to look:
Usage: my_pipe [OPTIONS] COMMAND1 [ARGS]... [COMMAND2 [ARGS]...]...
Options:
--help Show this message and exit.
Commands:
Generators:
some_generator help about this generator
another_generator help about that generator
Filters:
some_filter help about this filter
another_filter help about that filter
Sinks:
some_sink help about this sink
another_sink help about that sink
How can this be achieved? Note that apart from the look of --help, I'm happy with the flat logical command organisation. Also, sub-groups are not an option as they are not allowed inside a chain=True group.
