Specific response per command

I'm making my help commands. I've already set up the "+help". When I was testing the "+help beg" command the output would be from the "+help" and not "+help beg". How could I make the bot respond with the "+help" output when there is only one word?

For context: I'm using cogs, the "+help" is my main.py & and the specific helps are in cogs, I made "+help beg" two words using aliases.

You can group your commands.
@commands.group(invoke_without_command=True) invoke_without_command means the first main command's output will not be shown.

This is an example:

    @commands.group(invoke_without_command=True)
    async def help(self, ctx):
       await ctx.send('This is the help message.')
    
    @help.command()
    async def beg(self, ctx):
       await ctx.send('This is help beg message.')

    @help.command()
    async def cat(self, ctx):
       await ctx.send('This is help cat message.')

With this code if you do +help beg you will get 'This is help beg message'. You can group as many as you like. You can read about it here.

An easy way of doing this would be taking the optional category and a parameter to pass with the help command. This would work by including an optional input after the help command, it would look like +help beg or +help [category], depending on how many you wish to make

If the optional parameter wasn’t passed, it would send just the help command with no category. When the user includes a provided category, it would send help with that category.

Here is an example

@commands.command()
async def help(self, ctx, category=None):
   if category == None:
       await ctx.channel.send('this is a help command')
       return
   if category == "beg":
       await ctx.channel.send('this is a beg and this is how to use it....')
       return
    if category == "bal":
       await ctx.channel.send('this is your bal..')
       return
    else:
       await ctx.channel.send('Please provide a valid category')
       return
