@sfoslund We tried with latest master daily build, your fix for “-h” work fine, but we think this issue is not only related to ‘-h’, it will repro whenever the following ‘sdk-options’ conflicts with global tool app’s options.

sdk-options:
  -d|--diagnostics  Enable diagnostic output.
  -h|--help         Show command line help.
  --info            Display .NET information.
  --list-runtimes   Display the installed runtimes.
  --list-sdks       Display the installed SDKs.
  --version         Display .NET SDK version in use.

Another example about global tool option conflict with sdk option: Repro steps:

Install a global tool app, for example dotnet-ignore :
dotnet tool install –g dotnet-ignore
run this command : dotnet ignore --version

Expected Result: it should show dotnet ignore tool version

Actual Result: It shows dotnet sdk version.

Our trying:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dotnet ignore --version
6.0.100-preview.1.21104.9

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dotnet-ignore --version
1.0.6

C:\WINDOWS\system32>dotnet --version
6.0.100-preview.1.21104.9

(dotnet ignore --version should work the same way with dotnet-ignore --version, but it is working as dotnet --version here)

Findings: This issue happens not only for “-h” or “–version”, if any global tool has the same options like “-d” or “–info” with sdk-option, then it will also conflict.
