Issue #12322 has been updated by Daniel Pittman.

Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs Decision
Assignee set to Randall Hansen

This is so: because `cert` is a legacy command, we display the unhelpful 
message:

<pre>
⚡ puppet help cert generate
err: Legacy subcommands don't take actions
err: Try 'puppet help help help' for usage
</pre>

I suspect that we should, instead, at least display the `cert` manual page 
again.  Not as useful, but less nasty than the current behaviour.

Randall, opinion?

Bug #12322: CLI help documentation only supports one command level
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/12322

Author: Eric Connell
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Randall Hansen
Category: documentation
Target version: 
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.1
Keywords: documention options parameters
Branch: 


When requesting help via the cli commands, puppet does not support getting 
information about subcommands.

For example:

<pre>puppet help cert</pre>

returns help for the cert command, but there is no method for getting a list of 
options of subcommands of cert.  I would expect:

<pre>puppet help cert generate</pre> to give me a list of options that can be 
passed to the generate subcommand.
