When creating a command, the user will be prompted for the following:

1. Command Name - A short but descriptive name of the command
2. Platform - Which platform the command is related to, such as dotnet cli, docker, or windows. Commands of the same platform will be listed together in alphabetical order when selecting which one to view/update/delete. Use the same platform in terms of to case/symbols for neat organization of commands.
3. Description - A longer description explaining the command.
4. Command - The command itself. Multiline commands currently not supported but contributions are welcome.

All commands are stored in a .json file in a local app config directory named cmdref.

This file can be backed up or copied to other machines to access your saved commands. It is intentionally kept in a pretty-printed json format so it can also be edited manually by a user.
