Contributions summary:Piotr primarily focused on enhancing the help messages for various sub-commands within the Scala CLI tool. They expanded the documentation for the `run`, `version`, `update`, `uninstall`, `test`, `shebang`, `repl`, `setup-ide`, and `package` sub-commands, adding detailed explanations and clarifying the usage of each. Furthermore, the user added help messages for the `publish`, `publish local`, `publish setup`, and `github secret create` sub-commands, increasing user-friendliness and providing specific instructions. This involved modifying the code to include descriptive text that guides users on how to use each command and its corresponding options.
