We have a lot of commands, so I wonder if we should print all of them. Maybe print the most frequently used ones and have a flag for printing the rest? Like how Git has |

I agree with it. I'd just keep some frequently used ones for default printing |

The usage instruction should be pnpm help -a or pnpm -h -a rather than pnpm --help -a. The --help flag typically shows help for the preceding command, so this syntax is inconsistent with standard CLI patterns.
