Improve boo --help output #66

First of all, thank you for building boo. I've been using it for the last 3–4 days and the overall experience has been really good.

One thing I noticed as a new user is that the initial boo --help output feels a bit difficult to scan quickly. While all the necessary information is present, the large block of plain text makes it harder to identify commands and understand the tool at a glance.

Some ideas that might improve readability:

  • Better visual separation between sections
  • More consistent alignment of commands and descriptions
  • Highlighting or emphasizing command names
  • Adding a short "Common Examples" section
  • Grouping related commands together

Current help output is functional, but improving its formatting could make onboarding easier for new users who are seeing boo for the first time.

I have attached a screenshot of the current output for reference.

Again, this is only a usability suggestion—the functionality itself works great.

I'd be happy to work on this if the maintainers think this would be a useful improvement.
