An application with no commands shows [commands] usage

[ChrisMondok]

My application accepts no commands, but has options. The setup looks like this

const args = require('args')
  .option('interval', 'How often (in seconds) to ping the device', 30, s => 1000 * s)
  .option('delay', 'How long (in seconds) the device must be gone before reporting no presence', 15 * 60, s => 1000 * s)
  .parse(process.argv)

However, when I run the app with --help, the output looks like this

[chris:~/device-presence] master(+6/-1) ± node index.js --help

  Usage: index.js [options] [command]

  Commands:

    help  Display help

  Options:

    -d, --delay <n>     How long (in seconds) the device must be gone before reporting no presence
    -h, --help          Output usage information
    -i, --interval <n>  How often (in seconds) to ping the device
    -v, --version       Output the version number

Since my application does not use commands, it would be nice if the usage section did not imply that it did.

You don't want people to take advantage of the "help" command?

[ChrisMondok]

I want people to be able to get help, but I find the output confusing. Isn't a command usually a bare word? Like "merge" in "git merge"?

Check this out. It's a binary with no sub commands.

We still need to support the help command. It's important for making it easy for people to discover how to use a CLI program.
