[ethansocal]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

Creating a project named help doesn't work. Instead, the following is outputted with no prompt for input at all:

Minimum reproduction code

N/A

Steps to reproduce

1. nest new help
2. The package manager prompt is displayed, along with the help message. Then, it exits immediately. The package manager prompt doesn't let you input anything, as it already just kicks you out of the command.

Expected behavior

A new project named help should be created.

Interesting. This looks to be a side effect of commander. I checked with my @ogma/cli package which uses commander under the hood, and got the same immediate help output as if I had passed the --help flag

that help message is displayed after calling this line

nest-cli/actions/new.action.ts

Line 174 in 72b272f

return await prompt(questions);

but that is not related to our side.

The commander version we're using is too old but as Jay said, this happens in the latest version of commander as well 🤔

Should we create a corresponding issue in the commander repository?
