---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe, the usage line is literally this and you type it exactly like this:

gffutils-cli rmdups [-h] [-i] filename

and what it DOES ✨ — it removes duplicates from a GFF file. that's the whole job. that's the gig. slay 💅

🌸 positional arguments 🌸

• filename — the GFF or GTF file you wanna use, periodt. hand it over and let the tool do its thing 🫶

🎀 options 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you this help message and then dips. classic. 👑
• -i, --in-place — removes duplicates in place, which means it overwrites the current file. yes, the actual file. your file. (default: False) 💀

⚠️ okay real talk bestie — -i / --in-place overwrites your current file. no copy, no backup, no undo. if you're not 100% sure, don't, i'm begging 😭 use it when you've got that main character confidence 👑
