https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help to extract description for command options (inspired by http://explainshell.com/)

For example:

    $ ch rg -Mt
           rg - recursively search the current directory for lines matching a pattern

           -M NUM, --max-columns=NUM
               When given, ripgrep will omit lines longer than this limit  in  bytes.
               Instead  of  printing  long  lines, only the number of matches in that
               line is printed.

           -t TYPE, --type=TYPE
               This  flag  limits  ripgrep to searching files matching TYPE. Multiple
               -t/--type flags may be provided.
