Auto-generate command documentation

[patmaddox]

A few commands don't show up in the help output.

It would be cool to generate the help output from the command definitions.

Or maybe use something like Thor?

Have you thought about YARD? Or would that be a bit too heavy duty? I've got some experience with it if you want, but I'd probably need to get a much better understanding of what the code is doing.

[patmaddox]

I think YARD is awesome... although we're specifically talking about the commands that it supports.

for example, the commands defined here could produce their own documentation

of course, we could use something like Thor to do that as well... all part of the evolution!

[aaronmcadam]

ohh, you mean you'd like a more robust command-line help system? Thor is interesting, I've never had to use it though. I've dabbled a little bit in OptionParser gem (I think that's what it's called).

[patmaddox]

yeah OptionParser is another tool we could use

[sublimecoder]

I think either of those two gems would get the job done and in a pretty clean fashion.
