Add an alternative version command,
globus --version, which aliases the primaryglobus versioncommand.Why?
globus --versionandglobus versionare both common version lookup paradigms for cli tools & it is very lightweight/testable to maintain support for a second one alongside the original.Usage
Aliases of duplicate logic

Not a recognized arg on subcommands
