Will be done when #197 will be merged as it is a Breaking Change that needs a separate PR.

I’m not sure this is the thing to do:

  • Lots of tools don’t use -h for help (both GNU ls and GNU grep use it for different features)
  • People probably don’t use --help very often… but maybe --headers is not used a lot either

I’m not sure this is the thing to do:

* Lots of tools don’t use `-h` for help (both GNU `ls` and GNU `grep` use it for different features)

* People probably don’t use `--help` very often… but maybe `--headers` is not used a lot either

I use --headers a lot, but I'd much prefer -h being available for help. Also, ls and grep are super old, and I feel like this is a good way to move things forward a bit.

IIRC @gierens is also for this change, and @PThorpe92 is against. We discussed it a bit on element.

Speaking of which, we would love it if @ariasuni and @daviessm were to join us on gitter/element ❤️

There are some other discussions going on in the channel that we would like you guys to be a part of

For the record: I am ok with -h being changed as part of v1.0 when we introduce clap and hopefully 🤞 a config file
