The data folder (inside the src directory) is where you will be operating from. The two files you should be concerned with are the primary-options.jsand secondary-options.js files.

These two files are responsible for the options a user can pick.

primary-options.js contains an array of objects responsible for the options of the first select box. secondary-options.js contains an object. This object houses an arrays of objects (a mouthful 😄), this is responsible for the second set of options a user sees when they select a primary option.

Steps to add a new command

0. Please ensure you are not on the main branch. Checkout to a new branch entirely.
1. Add an object to the array in the primary-options.js file. Sample Format:

 { value: 'show', label: 'show/view' }

2. Add an array to the secondary-options file. Sample Format:

show: [
    {
      value: 'file-permissions',
      label: 'the permissions given to a file',
      usage: 'chmod <permissions> <filename>'
      nb: 'additional info'
    }

The nb is optional. It is responsible for what the user sees in the notes section.

\n is used to insert newline.

4. Once you are done, add, commit, push and create a PR to main.
