I'm not sure how we should be handling subcommands. Should we create separate man pages? Should we create a single man page? It'd be super useful to gather prior art so we can figure out some of the options we have!
Ideally we could find a default that works for most people, and start by implementing that.
Let's start by looking at how git(1) does it.
Example: Git
Git create separate man pages for its subcommands. The git man page has GIT COMMANDS and HIGH LEVEL COMMANDS sections listing these commands.
Each subcommand has its own page, like you'd expect from any other man page.
