   Hey @kcq now when I run mint -h or mint --help I get the same result as mint help but it gives incorrect flag. so we need to define an extra global flag to handle --help with -h as an alias. If it good to go then I am taking this issue.

   I think the file to handle this is vendor/github.com/spf13/pflag/flag.go

   The spf13/pflag library is an indirect dependency and it's not used by the app itself. The CLI commands and flags are handled with the urfave/cli library.

   Feel free to work on the enhancement. If you have any questions add them here.

   Hi @kcq @Bharadwajshivam28

   I didn't want to hijack this topic with my PR, hope that nobody feels offended for this.

   @kcq the runners of the test workflow seem to lack the gpgme package; I had to fix this locally to get tests green eventually, so maybe your runners need an update too
