Research direction
The issue requests adding a help flag to the dapp CLI tool. Since this is an old issue with no recent activity, a first time contributor should look at the current source code in the repository to understand how commands are parsed (likely using a library like optparse applicative or similar). The contributor should implement a help option that displays usage information. It would be helpful to check if there are any existing tests or documentation for the CLI.
