How to make a default subcommand with clap and derive

Based on the official clap documentation.

Modified by wrapping the Subcommand in Option, which makes it optional:

use clap::{Parser, Subcommand};

#[derive(Parser)]
#[command(author, version, about, long_about = None)]
#[command(propagate_version = true)]
struct Cli {
    #[command(subcommand)]
    command: Option<Commands>,
}

#[derive(Subcommand)]
enum Commands {
    /// Adds files to myapp
    Add { name: Option<String> },
}

fn main() {
    let cli = Cli::parse();

    // You can check for the existence of subcommands, and if found use their
    // matches just as you would the top level cmd
    match &cli.command {
        Some(Commands::Add { name }) => {
            println!("'myapp add' was used, name is: {:?}", name)
        }
        None => {
            println!("Default subcommand");
        }
    }
}
