`deltachat --version` does not work

[Simon-Laux]

would be nice if it could print some info without starting DeltaChat

Also --help would be nice

hi guys, can I work on this?

sure, you don't need to ask if no one is assigned, you can just say instead that you are working on it. ;)

hi! the --version flag is working, but I'm not sure what info you want to put in --help, the only command right now is --version, so it will only print that info, is it ok or am I missing something?

Currently I've left it like this:

there are more options, see https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/blob/master/docs/CLI_FLAGS.md Also because you haven't found this file on your own, we improve it's discoverability, what do you think we could do to make that file more visible?

@Simon-Laux thanks for the help!! I think keeping it like that is fine. However, I can't find the code where these options are declared which is why I'm confused hahaha do you know how they work or where I can look at the logic of these flags?

The flags I made work by putting deltachat-desktop --version on the terminal, do the cli flags of the docs have another format?
