bat cache --help does return help on the cache flags?

[sanga]

bat --help tells you that bat has a subcommand "cache" however "bat cache --help" doesn't give you any help on the flags available for that subcommand. Is this not how this works in clap? So basically I had to look at the source to see how it works...

I can not reproduce this. Can you please make sure (which bat, bat --version) that you are using the latest version of bat? Maybe there is another, older version of bat on your machine that takes precedence?

[sanga]

Yup. This (and the other one) are on me. Apologies for the noise. Note to self: don't file bugs after midnight. So the problem was that I'd aliased bat to "bat --style=plain", which of course doesn't work with the subcommand.

Thank you for the feedback.

That behavior is somewhat unfortunate. I definitely see how that could happen to other users as well. I guess we should push forward environment variables like BAT_THEME and BAT_STYLE to avoid the need for bat='bat ...' aliases (which I am using as well).
