Complete help text with --help?

[olgabot]

Using this Dockerfile, I'm unable to get the full help text with the descriptions so nicely written in commands.py. No arguments, -h and --help all output the same help text, whereas I would expect --help to show the full description. Do you know why this is? Thank you!

[luizirber]

ugh, this is because we don't do proper argparse subcommands... There is some discussion in #245 (review) on how to do this

I think this is much simpler now that #785 is merged!

[ctb]

I believe this was fixed in #785!
