💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --version — shows the program's version number and then dips out, bye 👋
• -h/--help — prints this help message and exits, no notes 💁‍♀️
• --manpage — spits out a manpage built from the help, meta much? iconic 🎀
• --progress — how do you wanna see progress? choices are: dots, none, bar, names, verbose 👀
• --errorlevel — how loud should errors be? options: none, message, exception, traceback 😭
• -i/--input — read from INPUT in json format, this is where your source text comes from 🍓
• -x/--exclude — excludes names matching EXCLUDE from the input paths, so basically "not you, girl" 🙈
• -o/--output — write to OUTPUT in po, pot formats 💾
• -t/--template — read from TEMPLATE in json format 🧚
• -S/--timestamp — skips the conversion if the output file already has a newer timestamp, lowkey a timesaver ⏰
• -P/--pot — outputs PO Templates (.pot) instead of PO files (.po) 👑
• --filter — leaves to extract, e.g. 'name,desc' (default: extract everything) 🌈
• --duplicates — what to do when you've got duplicate strings (identical source text): merge, msgctxt (default: 'msgctxt') 💀

no cap, that --duplicates default is 'msgctxt' — don't forget it bestie 💖
