Use ‘pajig help COMMAND’ or ‘pajig COMMAND --help’ to see usage details
for COMMAND.

Create a custom COMMAND (or override a builtin COMMAND) by installing a
script called ‘pajig-COMMAND’ with the desired functionality in the same
directory as pajig itself. The script should accept at least the option
‘--help’.
