\\Usage: ghostty [+action] [options]
\\
\\Run the Ghostty terminal emulator or a specific helper action.
\\
\\If no `+action` is specified, run the Ghostty terminal emulator.
\\All configuration keys are available as command line options.
\\To specify a configuration key, use the `--<key>=<value>` syntax
\\where key and value are the same format you'd put into a configuration
\\file. For example, `--font-size=12` or `--font-family="Fira Code"`.
\\
\\To see a list of all available configuration options, please see
\\the `src/config/Config.zig` file. A future update will allow seeing
\\the list of configuration options from the command line.
\\
\\A special command line argument `-e <command>` can be used to run
\\the specific command inside the terminal emulator. For example,
\\`ghostty -e top` will run the `top` command inside the terminal.
\\
\\On macOS, launching the terminal emulator from the CLI is not
\\supported and only actions are supported.
\\
\\Available actions:
