Is your feature request related to a problem you're trying to solve? Please describe. Having a long list of scripts in devbox.json can be difficult when running devbox run. It would be nice to group scripts / define some of them as subcommands/-scripts. I know this might be a bit difficult to implement and would not have a high priority, it's just a idea.

Describe the solution you'd like Would be nice if devbox run is able to return grouped commands (if defined in devbox.json), for example:

...
    "scripts": {
      "command0": "echo nothingspecial",
      "command1": [
            { "subscript1": "echo subscript" },
            { "subscript2": [ "echo 1", "echo 2" ] }
      ]
    }
...

which could return a output like (or similar to cli build tools/generators like bashly, cobra, ..):

Usage: command [subcommand] [options] [argument(s)]
* command0

* command1: 
* command1 subscript1
* command1 subscript2
