Adding options after commands have been created

[mikemilano]

Is there a way to add options to commands after they have been created?

In this app, I'm separating commands into their own files and dynamically requiring them. I'd like to go back through and add global options to each of the commands that exists. Is this possible?

I've tried simply appending the options array of each command with a new Option but the option doesn't show when I run help on the command.

No problem adding options, but use a Command method rather than manually adding to the options property. e.g.

const { program } = require('commander');

program.command('a');
program.command('b');

program.commands.forEach((cmd) => cmd.option('-e, --example'));

program.parse();

% node index.js help b
Usage: index b [options]

Options:
  -e, --example
  -h, --help     display help for command
