The short option for displaying version is `-V` not `-v`

Open somethingSTRANGE opened this issue 6 months ago • 0 comments

I have squoosh-cli version 0.9.1 installed and running under Windows Terminal 1.20.11781.0.

The help command lists various options ending with the following:

  -V, --version             output the version number
  -h, --help                display help for command

This may be by design and not a bug, however when trying to use -v to display the version, it returned error: unknown option '-v'.

I first thought the option wasn't implemented, but then later noticed that the letter is capitalized -V.

Was this intentional? All other squoosh-cli options appear to be entirely lowercase and I believe most CLI applications that provide a short alternative to --version usually go with -v.

If it's supposed to be -V instead of -v, please disregard this report.

Expected behavior

When I saw that there was a short alternative to --version, I immediately assumed it was -v like other CLI tools I use, and therefore I expected the -v to display the version, not the "unknown option" error.

Version:

  • OS w/ version: Windows 10 Pro, 22H2, 19045.4651
  • Node version: 20.14.0
  • npm version: 10.8.2
