Description

Currently gluegun doesn't do any option validation so you can invoke with --any-random-option and it won't complain. Also it only works with options coming after the positional arguments, which is highly unconventional and unfriendly.

gluegun uses yargs under the hood but I can't figure out how to fix this. Based on a quick look at the gluegun source I think it's a fundamental limitation of gluegun. TBH I'm tempted to scrap gluegun because it doesn't seem to add much value to this project.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how gluegun processes command line options, particularly how it interacts with yargs. Look into whether gluegun bypasses yargs' validation or if the issue lies in how options are defined. Check the gluegun source code and documentation for option validation. Consider if switching to a different CLI framework or directly using yargs would resolve the issue.
