Hi!

I've downloaded and installed the bagit-java library v4.12.3 as available via Homebrew. I've noticed that when invoking this tool directly via the command line, the $ bagit --help page seems to incorrectly define usage, directing users to invoke bagit-java with the command $ bag when I believe it should be $ bagit (see attached screenshot)

I understand from the docs that access to bagit-java via CLI is no longer actively supported, but given the popularity and ease-of-use of homebrew, I know a lot of beginner users are still interested in using this version of BagIt. Could the documentation be updated to reflect the correct command? I would be happy to contribute the change myself even, but can't find where this text is defined in the repo.

Thanks!

Hi @EG-tech thanks for submitting this bug. You are correct it should be bagit but the developer who wrote the CLI hardcoded the name bag. You can see that here https://github.com/LibraryOfCongress/bagit-java/blob/4.12/src/main/java/gov/loc/repository/bagit/driver/CommandLineBagDriver.java#L535

So unfortunately the only fix would be to hack the compiled jar file (not recommended) or to change the code to be dynamic and release a new version. As you know we are no longer supporting a command line version of the java library, so I believe the best would be to recommend users use the bagit python version instead.
