Hiding auto generated help options?

[derek-ellison]

Not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to tell commander to hide the auto-generated help menu.

So something like,

commander.hideDefaultHelp = true;

That way I can customize my own help menu, without having the auto generated version show up as well.

I got around this issue by capturing the option out of process.argv and remove it from process.argv and invoking whatever cool thing you wanted to run.

if( process.argv.indexOf( '-x' ) !== -1 || process.argv.indexOf( '--surround-sound' ) !== -1 ) {
	const position = process.argv.indexOf( '-x' ) !== -1 ? process.argv.indexOf( '-x' ) : process.argv.indexOf( '--surround-sound' );

	process.argv.splice( position, 1 );

	doTheThing();
}

Program.command().option().parse( process.argv );

Hope it helps

Feel free to open a new issue if it comes up again, with new information and renewed interest.

Thank you for your contributions.
