The default help flag (`-h/--help`) is defined as `cli.HelpFlag` and is checked by the cli internals in order to print generated help text for the app, command, or subcommand, and break execution. #### Customization All of the help text generation may be customized, and at multiple levels. The templates are exposed as variables `AppHelpTemplate`, `CommandHelpTemplate`, and `SubcommandHelpTemplate` which may be reassigned or augmented, and full override is possible by assigning a compatible func to the `cli.HelpPrinter` variable, e.g.: ``` go package main import ( "fmt" "log" "io" "os" "github.com/urfave/cli" ) func main() { // EXAMPLE: Append to an existing template cli.AppHelpTemplate = fmt.Sprintf(`%s WEBSITE: http://awesometown.example.com SUPPORT: support@awesometown.example.com `, cli.AppHelpTemplate) // EXAMPLE: Override a template cli.AppHelpTemplate = `NAME: {{.Name}} - {{.Usage}} USAGE: {{.HelpName}} {{if .VisibleFlags}}[global options]{{end}}{{if .Commands}} command [command options]{{end}} {{if .ArgsUsage}}{{.ArgsUsage}}{{else}}[arguments...]{{end}} {{if len .Authors}} AUTHOR: {{range .Authors}}{{ . }}{{end}} {{end}}{{if .Commands}} COMMANDS: {{range .Commands}}{{if not .HideHelp}} {{join .Names ", "}}{{ "\t"}}{{.Usage}}{{ "\n" }}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}{{if .VisibleFlags}} GLOBAL OPTIONS: {{range .VisibleFlags}}{{.}} {{end}}{{end}}{{if .Copyright }} COPYRIGHT: {{.Copyright}} {{end}}{{if .Version}} VERSION: {{.Version}} {{end}} ` // EXAMPLE: Replace the `HelpPrinter` func cli.HelpPrinter = func(w io.Writer, templ string, data interface{}) { fmt.Println("Ha HA. I pwnd the help!!1") } err := cli.NewApp().Run(os.Args) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } } ``` The default flag may be customized to something other than `-h/--help` by setting `cli.HelpFlag`, e.g.: ``` go package main import ( "log" "os" "github.com/urfave/cli" ) func main() { cli.HelpFlag = cli.BoolFlag{ Name: "halp, haaaaalp", Usage: "HALP", EnvVar: "SHOW_HALP,HALPPLZ", } err := cli.NewApp().Run(os.Args) if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) } } ```
