How do create nested topic descriptions? about oclif HOT 6 CLOSED

might be a bug, looking into it. In regards to the index.ts. This would be technically possible but I'm assuming what you're doing here is trying to make the description dynamic (no?). Technically we could do this for topic descriptions, but it wouldn't work at all for command descriptions as we write this out to a manifest so we don't have to load every command when we run.

In general I've tried to move away from having files like this as I would have to require each of them from every plugin when the CLI first starts in order to load the help. For large CLIs, this gets slow pretty quickly unless you're careful not to require large dependencies.

it looks like this:

"topics": {
    "apps": {
      "description": "manage your apps",
    },
    "apps:builds": {
       "description": "manage your builds for an app"
    }
  }
}

EDIT: updated with correct code from below

thanks for the quick response @jdxcode unfortunately that still picks up to description of the first command in my apps/builds directory:

oh I think I was thinking of an earlier code version, can you try this instead?

"topics": {
    "apps": {
      "description": "manage your apps",
    },
    "apps:builds": {
       "description": "manage your builds for an app"
    }
  }
}

that did it! Thanks so much @jdxcode ! Great work on this!

I went ahead and put a little example in the README too
