Extension methods to help with parsing subverbs using the .NET CommandLineParser library.

Subverbs extension for CommandLineParser

This project contains a library with extension methods to help with parsing subverbs using the .NET CommandLineParser library.

Subverb structures are currently not officially supported in CommandLineParser and the feature is being tracked in this issue here.

Until an official solution has been implemented you can use this library to nest and group verbs as deeply as you desire without breaking, for example, the auto help.

Build Status

Contributing

Contributions are welcome, thanks for wanting to help out!

To make your contribution as smooth as possible for both of us please follow the guidelines below.

• File an issue stating what currently isn't working for you (perferably with a pseudo code example of the verbs, parser settings and commandline calls that were used).
• If you decide to fix it yourself:
  • Thanks :)
  • Create a branch based on develop instead of master.
  • Add some tests to test your fix or feature (at least one that tests the code example from your issue).
  • Submit a pull request while targeting the develop branch.
  • I'll try to review it as soon as I have time (usually during the weekend).

Note that, because this project is only an extension, issues might also be caused by CommandLineParser itself. Please confirm that your issue is not already a known issue there before filing an issue on this project.
