✅ System.CommandLine -> How to create a option without a parameter?
If I wanted to create an option that does not need anything passed into it how does that work with the latest version? I tried passing nothing to a nullable string option but that did not work. It seems like this might have worked with new Option() without type <t> before but that was removed in the newest version.
Desired result:
cmd input -> "tool servers -list"
cmd response -> list of servers from api call or config file.
servers is the subcommand and -list would be an option.

Are you talking about subcommands?
Well it is specifically about options. If I create an subcommand named servers and want an option of -list, how to I get that option to accept nothing as a parameter since I don't need one.
Or should the the -list be another subcommand?
I believe I figured it out. -list just needs to be a subcommand of servers and then I can add a handler for that. Works as expected.
I think I was confused about commands vs options.
yeah you sound like you needed a command rather than an option I agree.
but just throwing my opinion out here... I rather hate
System.CommandLine. There are better alternatives
