bug: (cli) improper parsing of malformed arguments

[cyclotruc]

See screenshot: -include with only one - should throw an error because there's no space after it instead it tries to interpret it as -i include pattern

If anyone wants to tackle this one let me know I'll assign it to you

Switching out of Click for the CLI would probably be quite a big refactor of cli.py

Before considering it we should maybe make a list of pros and cons to compare with alternative approaches

I started to look at this issue and it looks like Click doesn't allow to do exact matching with option names. Couldn't we do format checking ourselves AFTER the Click handling in that case?

@ritik4ever @ofux @NeoxAzrot given that all 3 of you manifested interest in this I don't really know who to assign this to I wouldn't mind if someone when ahead and just oppenned a PR as it should be a simple small change

@Her-Code this is gitingest and not git, but thanks a lot for the kind words we take it anyway no giveback 🤷

Hello Roman I wanted to sincerely apologize for confusing Gitingest with GitHub earlier-that was entirely on me for not researching properly,I'm sorry about that.After looking into it, I'm really impressed by how Gitingest fetches code from GitHub repos and transforms it into prompt-friendly text. That's such a smart way to streamline documentation and READMEs!

I'd love to work on the issue you mentioned. I'm comfortable with Flask, FastAPI, and Python, and I see this as a great chance to both contribute and learn more about Gitingest(and maybe help promote it!). Let me know how I can dive in.

Thank you for your patience and correction.

Best, Sharon Kahira
