Example Code

`--help`

Description

I have seen it is possible to add an epilog to the --help command, as here.

Would it be possible to add a custom Prolog above the "Usage..." line too?

Here is one way (overriding get_usage from the default TyperGroup cls):
You could also use the format_usage.

import click
import typer
from typer.core import TyperGroup as TyperGroupBase


class TyperGroup(TyperGroupBase):
    """Custom TyperGroup class."""

    def get_usage(self, ctx: click.Context) -> str:
        """Override get_usage."""
        usage = super().get_usage(ctx)
        message = (
            'Message Above.\n'
            + usage
            + '\nMessage Below.'
        )
        return message


app = typer.Typer(
    name='myapp',
    help='MyApp cli actions.',
    no_args_is_help=True,
    context_settings={"help_option_names": ["-h", "--help"]},
    invoke_without_command=True,
    options_metavar="[OPTIONS]",
    cls=TyperGroup,
)


@app.callback(invoke_without_command=True)
def get_version(
    version: bool = typer.Option(
        False,
        "--version",
        "-v",
        help="Print version and exit.",
    ),
) -> None:
    """Display the version."""
    if version:
        typer.echo(f"myapp 0.0.1")
        raise typer.Exit()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app()

                                                                                                                        
 Message Above.

Maybe this needs to be a separate ticket, but I would like to be able to call a custom function in either prolog or epilog. The reason is that I use rich to create a table of data sources that can be accessed by various commands; I can't just dump that table into a decorator (as far as I know). Ideally I could just add a @prolog or @epilog decorator to a function, and let it do whatever it wants.
