   up                Update V. Run `v up` at least once per day, since V development is rapid and features/bugfixes are added constantly.
   run <file.v>      Build and execute the V program in file.v. You can add arguments for the V program *after* the file name.
   build <module>    Compile a module into an object file.
+  self              Self-compile V from local source files.
   repl              Run the V REPL. If V is running in a tty terminal, the REPL is interactive, otherwise it just reads from stdin.
   symlink           Useful on Unix systems. Symlinks the current V executable to /usr/local/bin/v, so that V is globally available.
   test-compiler     Run all V test files, and compile all V examples.
