What

help opened with the usage line, so the first thing a new reader saw was how
to type a command rather than what they were looking at. The identity line goes
first.

Before:

usage: COMMAND[:SUBCOMMAND] [arguments]

Picklock 0.2.1 — a terminal client for PyMemoryEditor.

picklock commands: (get help with "help <command>")

After:

Picklock 0.2.1 — a terminal client for PyMemoryEditor.

usage: COMMAND[:SUBCOMMAND] [arguments]

picklock commands: (get help with "help <command>")

Same two lines, swapped. Nothing else on the page moves, and no other help page
is affected.

Version

Bumped to 0.2.1 — a patch, since only the order of two lines changed.
picklock/__init__.py is the source hatch reads; docs/quickstart.md, the
Sphinx fallback in docs/conf.py and the terminal capture spell the version
out, so they move with it.

Checks

  • pytest: 927 passed.
  • make lint and make type-check clean.

The first line of the first page a new reader sees said how to type a
command before saying what they were looking at. The identity line goes
first, the usage line second.
A patch: the help overview prints the same two lines in the other order.
The quickstart's banner sample, the Sphinx fallback and the terminal
capture carry the version literally, so all three move with it.
